Mancala
Player 1 (bottom row) starts
how to play?
- The aim of the game is to fill your mancala (the big pockets on the sides).
- Player 1 controls the bottom row and the mancala on the right.
- Player 2 controls the top row and mancala on the left.
- Play moves anti-clockwise.
- To move pick a pit (the small pockets) on your row.
- The points (seeds) in the pocket are then distributed 1 point at a time to neighbouring pockets. This is called sowing.
- You skip the enemy's mancala.
- If you finish on your own mancala you get another turn.
- If you finish on an empty pit on your own side, you place that last seed directly in your mancala. You also capture any enemy seeds opposite.
- When there are no more availible moves, all the remaining seeds are moved to your enemy's mancala
