Mancala

How to play

The classic seed-sowing strategy game. Pick up all the seeds from one of your pits and sow them one by one around the board, capturing seeds and earning bonus turns along the way.

Rules

  • Click one of your six pits (bottom row) to sow all its seeds counter-clockwise, one per pit, skipping the AI's store.
  • If your last seed lands in your own store, you get another turn.
  • If your last seed lands in an empty pit on your side, you capture it and the seeds directly opposite.
  • When one side's pits are all empty, the game ends and remaining seeds go to their owner — most seeds in your store wins.

Tips

Landing your last seed in your own store gives you a free extra turn — count ahead before you sow to find moves that land exactly there.
