Mancala is a clever base for a roguelike. Bosses that change the rules sound like the best part. Which one surprised your playtesters most?

mancala as a roguelike deckbuilder ?! I did not see that coming. Good pitch.

Haha thank you! 8-9 months ago I was playing Mancala so much and thought of the idea and realized there weren't any that I knew of! Now there's at least two others, Oh!Ware and Mission Mancala

Bosses that alter the rules is what could make Mancala work as a roguelike, since marble sowing is so deterministic. Do the rule changes hit before or after players settle on a build?

They progressively get more intense as the player has more opportunities to build and synergize. New players might have trouble learning mancala and roguelike mechanics, but experienced players will use that time to prepare for the end game!
