Mancala

🎯 Objective

The goal of Mancala is to collect more stones in your store (the large pit on your right) than your opponent by the end of the game.

🧩 Game Setup

• The board has two rows of six pits each.
• Each small pit starts with four stones.
• The large pits (stores) at each end belong to the players.
• You control the six pits on your side and the store on your right.

🔄 Gameplay

• On your turn, pick up all stones from one of your pits.
• Move counterclockwise, dropping one stone into each pit as you go.
• Skip your opponent’s store, but place stones in your own store when passing it.
• If your last stone lands in your own store, you get another turn.
• If your last stone lands in an empty pit on your side, you capture that stone and any stones in the opposite pit, placing them in your store.

🛑 Game End

• The game ends when one side’s six pits are empty.
• The player with stones remaining on their side collects them into their store.
• The winner is the one with the most stones in their store.

💡 Tips for Winning

• Try to end your turn in your store to earn an extra move.
• Watch your opponent’s moves to avoid letting them capture.
• Plan ahead — sometimes skipping a big capture now leads to a better one later.
