zBao app for iPhone and iPad

zBao - an ancient strategy game on a new platform.

Bao is one version of many mancala, or bean counting, games that have been played around the world for thousands of years. Zanzibar Bao is a particularly strategic version that gets more interesting the more you play. The rules are simple, but the strategy is deep.

zBao offers both "Beginner" Bao, which is very simple and a great way to get started, and Zanzibar Bao, which has the strategic depth that more advanced players look for.

The more you play, the higher rank you achieve.

Play against the computer. Or play against Game Center opponents of similar skill level. Or pass and play with a friend.
