Mancala with Kalah rules
Scoop a pit, sow the seeds, skip the other store, and hope the last one lands in yours.
How Mancala plays
- Six pits per side, four seeds each. Pick one of your pits and sow counterclockwise, skipping your opponent’s store.
- Landing in your own store gives you another turn; landing in your own empty pit captures the opposite pit.
- When one side empties, the other side’s remaining seeds go to their owner.
How it ends. Most seeds in your store wins.
