How to Play

Board

Each player has 6 pits and a store on their right. Every pit starts with 4 seeds (48 total). Goal: have more seeds in your store when the game ends.

Move

Pick one of your pits. Seeds are sown counter-clockwise one per pit, starting with the next pit. You drop a seed in your own store but skip your opponent's.

Turkish Mangala

From a pit with several seeds, one stays behind and the rest are sown; a single seed moves to the next pit. Last seed in your store: go again. Last seed in an opponent pit making it even: capture that pit. Last seed in your own empty pit with seeds opposite: capture both. When a player's pits are empty, that player also takes the seeds left on the opponent's side.

Kalah

All seeds are sown. Last seed in your store: go again. Last seed in your own empty pit with seeds opposite: capture both. When one side is empty, each player keeps the seeds on their own side.

Coach

Hover over a pit to see where the last seed lands and what you gain. Coach mode compares every move with the best one and gives an accuracy report at the end.
