Mancala (the Kalah version) is a turn-based game of counting and capturing. You play the bottom row and the store on your right.
- Goal: finish with more stones in your store than your opponent.
- Sowing: click one of your six pits. All its stones are picked up and dropped one-by-one into the following pits, moving counter-clockwise.
- Your store: drop stones into your own store as you pass it, but skip the opponent's store entirely.
- Extra turn: if your last stone lands in your own store, you go again.
- Capture: if your last stone lands in an empty pit on your side, you capture that stone and all stones in the pit directly across from it — both go to your store.
- Game end: when one side has no stones left, the other player sweeps their remaining stones into their store. Highest total wins.
Tip: landing in your store for a free turn is powerful — try to chain several in a row.
