About Mancala
Mancala is one of the oldest board games in the world, and this is the classic Kalah version. You take the bottom row of six pits and the store on your right; the computer takes the top row and the store on its left. On your turn you pick up all the stones from one of your pits and sow them one by one, counter-clockwise, into the pits that follow — dropping one in your own store but skipping your opponent’s. Land your last stone in your store and you go again. Land it in an empty pit on your own side and you capture that stone plus everything in the pit across from it. When either side runs out of stones the rest are swept into their owner’s store, and whoever has the most stones wins. Pick a difficulty to set how sharply the computer plays. It all runs in your browser. No signup, no download, nothing uploaded.
