Mancala Rules 📜

Players sow seeds repeatedly in a counterclockwise direction. To begin player takes the seeds from anyone cup on his side of the board - leaving empty this cup that he has already taken the stones. The player sows through all twelve cups and his reservoir (which is on the right of the gameboard) but not the opponent's reservoir (on the left of the gameboard).

Go-again play

If the last stone lands in your reservoir, the turn is yours and you can take the stones to sow from any cup from your side and continue the game.

Cross-capture

If the last stone lands in an empty cup on your side of the board and there are one or more stones in the adjacent cup on your opponent's side of the board, you capture these opponent's stones and the last one that you have sown.

End of the game

The game ends if all six cups on the side of each player are empty. The one who has more seeds (stones) captured in his reservoir 🏆wins.
