Answer 6

Yes, it is Mancala, one of my favorite games, deceptively simple yet amazingly complex.  It has 6 pots on each side and a "mancala" pot on each end, and you play with either 36 or 48 pebbles or dried beans.  You can actually make one from an empty egg carton if you want to try the game.  Here are a couple of links that may help you.

Answer 7

definitely Mancala! I love this game. I got mine from Toys R Us in one of those mega-game packs. You can now pick it up at Target for under $10.
