How to play?

OBJECTIVE: To capture more stones in your mancala than your opponent. 

SET UP: The board consists of two rows of six holes or pits, with four stones in each. At each end, each player has a store called a mancala.

1. Starting the Game:

• Player 1 picks up all the stones from one of their pits and sows them counterclockwise, placing one stone in each subsequent pit (including their own store but skipping the opponent's store).

2. Sowing Stones:

• Drop one stone into each pit as you move counterclockwise.

• If you land in your store, place a stone there and continue sowing from the next pit.

• If the last stone lands in your store, you get another turn.

3. Capturing Stones:

• If your last stone lands in an empty pit on your side, and the opposite pit (on your opponent's side) has stones, you capture all the stones from both pits and place them in your store.

• If the last stone lands in your mancala, you get an additional turn.

4. Ending the Turn:

• If your last stone lands in a pit that is not empty (and is not your store), your turn ends.

5. Ending the Game

• The game ends when all 6 pits on one side are empty.

• Each player collects the remaining stones from their pits and adds them to their store.

6. Scoring:

• The player with the most stones in their store wins!
