Kalah also called Kalaha or Mancala is a game in the mancala family imported in the United States by William Julius Champion Jr. in 1940. This game is sometimes also called "Kalahari" possibly by false etymology from the Kalahari desert in Namibia.

As the most popular and commercially available variant of mancala in the West Kalah is also sometimes referred to as Warri or Awari although those names more properly refer to the game Oware.
