How To Play MANCALA Correctly

Backgammon playing pieces are known variously as checkers, draughts, stones, men, counters, pawns, discs, or chips.

The objective is to remove (bear off) all of one's own checkers from the board before one's opponent can do the same. The checkers are scattered at first and may be blocked or hit by the opponent. As the playing time for each individual game is short, it is often played in matches, where victory is awarded to the first player to reach a certain number of points.

Each player takes turns shooting the marble-like Bakugan at the metal cards which have been placed to make up the play area. If the Bakuganlands at the right spot on the card, it will spring open and stand on the card, taking control of the card. When two Bakugan stand on the same card, they fight, using their strength, plus bonuses on the card they are attempting to control. Play continues until all areas are controlled, or one player's Bakugan have been eliminated. The winner is determined by the values of the areas taken, and other bonuses accumulated in play
Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. It appears you are playing a modified version of Aggravation. The original rules from Hasbro call for the use of one die. The player must move only one marble the full amount on the die. If the player can not move the full amount of the die, his/her turn is over.
Other keys to moving your marble according the the original directions are:

• You can only move a marble out of the "base" and onto the "start" space with the roll of a 1 or 6.
• You get an extra turn when you roll a 6.
• You can jump over or land on an opponents marble (aggravate it) but can't jump over or on your own marble.
• A "aggravated" marble (one that has been landed on) is to be placed back in the "base" area to be started over.
• You can use the "star" and "center" spaces for shortcuts. However, the center space must be landed on and the roll of a 1 is the only way off the center space.
• You must move all 4 marbles into the "home" area by the full roll of the die to complete the game.

Here is a link to the directions: http://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/Aggravation_(2002).pdf. My personal opinion on your situation with the 3 and 4 dice rolls is that he could chose which marble to move 3 and which to move 4. But, the full use of the amounts of the dice must be used and the total on one die can not be split by two different marbles (a 4 die can't be split into a 2 and a 2).
Hope this helps and doesn't "Aggravate" you more! :0) Have fun playing!

Rules of play

Each player has nine pieces, or "men", which move among the board's twenty-four spots. The object of the game is to leave the opposing player with fewer than three pieces or, as in checkers, no legal moves.

The game begins with an empty board. Players take turns placing their pieces on empty spots. If a player is able to form a straight row of three pieces along one of the board's lines (i.e. not diagonally), he has a "mill" and may remove one of his opponent's pieces from the board; removed pieces may not be placed again. Players must remove any other pieces first before removing a piece from a formed mill. Once all eighteen pieces have been used, players take turns moving.

Moving the pieces

To move, a player slides one of his pieces along a board line to an empty adjacent spot. If he cannot do so, he has lost the game.

As in the placement stage, a player who aligns three of his pieces on a board line has a mill and may remove one of his opponent's pieces, avoiding the removal of pieces in mills if at all possible.

Any player reduced to two pieces is unable to remove any more opposing pieces and thus loses the game.

Flying

In one common variation, once a player is reduced to three pieces, his pieces may "fly", "hop" or "jump" to any empty spots, not only adjacent ones. Some sources of the rules say this is the way the game is played, some treat it as a variation, and some don't mention it at all. A '19th Century Games Manual

It's a hand held game that plays music and calls out hand movements, that become, in turn more complex.

My 9 year old and 5/12 year old boys love to play, and "groove" along to the music as they do. It is a great toy for long drives, and has lead to lots of laughter and fun interaction for our family. They howled when my husband showed them his cool moves! I would so much rather my boys take turns with Groove-it, root each other on to reach their individual best, than stare blankly at a gameboy.

On the main menu of the DS go to the settings (the button looks like a little DS), now tap the wrench icon, and then tap the globe icon. Tap the language you want and then hit the bottom-right button, this is confirm.
Problem solved! :)
