Mancala

How to play Mancala

This six-pit Mancala variant starts with four stones per pit. Pink owns the bottom pits and right store; Blue owns the top pits and left store. Pick up one of your pits and sow one stone at a time around the board, skipping the opponent’s store.

Landing in your own store earns another turn. Landing in an empty pit on your side captures its last stone plus the stones opposite, if that opposite pit is nonempty. When either side is empty, sweep remaining stones into their owner’s store. Most stones wins.

Example: Pick a pit → sow → store
