Very simple, yet fun way to play this traditional game, on steroid!
Intro
Arkaneum is actually based on the Congkak game, one of the Kalah/Mancala variants. In Arkaneum, you travel from one planet to another to play against your opponent. Solve the mission objectives in each quadrants of each planets to win.
Basic GamePlay
You can capture your opponent's ores if your ore distribution ends at an empty container. However you lose a turn after that. If you end distributing ores at the Teleporter, you earn a free turn. Single Arkaneum ores can mutate into Arkanites Ores randomly. Arkanites are very valuable so try to capture them if you see the opportunity to do so.
Easy to play:
- Missons mode - solve puzzles with different kind of objectives
- Custom mode - select how many marbles you want to play and have fun!
Arkaneum is a great time waster while waiting for somebody, or something. Play it on a train or while waiting for a bus. Sharpen your mind (or your kid's) with this game as it invites player to do mind maths to capture opponents marbles.

Nice game... but repetitive...

This game is repetitive. It needs some tweaks to make it more interesting. Like a two player mode, other kinds of ores, a worldwide highscore... Well I don't know how to make this kind of game interesting... Once you get the gist of it... it's just math... Maybe a timed mode?!?

This has been a fun app for me to try. I'm a big Owari fan and this variation is challenign and fun to play. My kids have had fun with it too.
Cool Game

Pro: Great graphics and sound Con: Game play is a little hard to understand and not very action-packed Buy It? Maybe
Fun...

Never seen a game like this before but this is quite fun. Not exactly sure what I'm doing but having fun learning ;)
Good Game

I agree that the game is pretty repetitive... but then again, it is essentially mancala. If there were a two player mode or some sort of achievement system it would definitely help with the replay value. All in all I still enjoy the game and it's definitely worth $0.99
Repeat

Not bad for mancala only issue I have is it doesn't save current location. I've restarted the same level every time I log out...
Doesn't even start!!

Downloaded and deleted three times! Only allowed into main screen & can turn music off!! That's it !! Try to play & I'm booted out to my home screen.
Almost!

The game itself totally rocks! I love it! THANK YOU for removing the anime theme and adding more levels! HOWEVER! I paid to have NO ADS ~ YET THEY STILL POP UP AFTER EVERY COMPLETED LEVEL. ?
Miss the characters

I like this game, it's a cool twist on mancala but I miss that a few updates ago they got rid of the character faces showing you who you were fighting against, can we bring that back?
