L'ab al-Ghashim ("The Game of the Ignorant"), also spelled Leab el-ghasheem, is an Egyptian mancala game, which was popular in the 19th century. It was first described by the British Orientalist, translator and lexicographer Edward William Lane (1801-1876) in 1836. L'ab al-Ghashim was also known as Mankal'ah (from the Arabic word naqala meaning literally "moved") and thus became the namesake of the Mancala family of games. It was known as "The Game of the Ignorant" because it was mostly played by children. L'ab al-Ghashim is related to the Syrian La'b Madjnuni.
