Mancala

Mancala (Kalah variant) is one of the oldest board games in the world. You play against the AI on a board with two rows of six pits and a store (large pit) on each side.

Setup: Each of the 12 small pits starts with 4 seeds. Your pits are on the bottom row; the AI’s pits are on top. Your store is on the right; the AI’s store is on the left.

How to move: Click one of your pits to pick up all its seeds, then they are sown one at a time counter-clockwise into each subsequent pit – including your own store, but skipping the opponent’s store.

Extra turn: If your last seed lands in your store, you get another turn.

Capture: If your last seed lands in an empty pit on your side and the opposite pit has seeds, you capture both your seed and all opposing seeds into your store.

Game end: When one side’s pits are all empty, the other player collects their remaining seeds into their store. The player with the most seeds wins.
