How to play Mancala
Mancala is one of the oldest board games there is: two rows of pits on a carved wooden board, and a handful of seeds you sow one by one round it. Get more seeds into your store than your opponent.
Controls: Tap (or click) one of the pits on your side, nearest the camera, to sow its seeds. Keys 1 to 6 pick a pit from left to right.
Tips
- Count the seeds: a pit with exactly enough to reach your store gives you another turn. Play those first, starting with the pit nearest the store.
- Ending in an empty pit on your side captures everything in the pit opposite. Look for big piles across from your empty pits.
- Watch your opponent's empty pits too, and don't leave a big pile opposite one they can reach.
- Keeping seeds on your side near the end is good: when a side runs out, each player banks the seeds left on their own side.
- Large pits that go all the way round feed your opponent's side, so time them carefully.
