Madcala is a 1v1, asymmetric game that pits players against each other in a battle of wits and luck! Out thinking and out maneuvering your opponent will prove easier said than done! If you can reduce your opponent's health to zero, you win!

On your turn, you will pick a plate of beads, pick them all up and leave one behind on each plate you pass. Whatever plate you end on will give you an action to perform. You can also call on the aid of your "plus ones" to the event. They have powerful abilities that give each player a different approach and strategy.

Gameplay Overview
Madcala is a wonderfully strange 1v1 game that takes the ancient mechanics of Mancala — pick up a handful of pieces, distribute them one at a time, act on where you land — and wraps them in an Alice in Wonderland tea party setting with asymmetric character abilities and a health-damage combat goal. Each turn you scoop up beads from a plate, drop one on each plate you pass, and trigger the action on your landing spot, building toward moves that chip away at your opponent's health. Your unique "plus ones" — the wild guests at this very peculiar party — give each player a distinct set of powerful abilities that shape strategy and create genuinely different playstyles between the two sides. The production is signature Druid City Games: a stitched neoprene game mat, premium chips, and a custom insert that makes the whole thing feel like a luxury object. A clever, fast, and beautifully made two-player game for fans of abstract strategy with a thematic twist.
