Kalah is a modern variation in the ancient Mancala family of games. The Kalah board was first patented and sold in the United States by William Julius Champion, Jr. in the 1950s.[1][2] This game is sometimes also called "Kalahari", possibly by false etymology from the Kalahari desert in Namibia.[citation needed]
For most of its variations, Kalah is a solved game with a first-player win if both players play perfect games. The pie rule can be used to balance the first-player's advantage.
