Nasty Crossroads was invented by Sue and Joe Hanson in the early 2000s. They live in Mahomet, Illinois (USA). This mancala game was especially designed for four players. It uses a unique cross-shaped board, hence its name. The game is produced by Happy Viking Crafts, a business owned by the Hansons. A related variant is Basic Crossroads.

[edit] Rules
The game is played like Basic Crossroads except for the following:
- Stones are also sown into opponent's reservoirs.
- If the last stone falls into an opponent's reservoir, its contents are captured and put into the player's own reservoir. This is called "nasty capture".
[edit] Variants
The game is well suited to being played with a partner who sits across from you. The winning team must have captured more stones together than the other two players.
