Mancala

Mancala is a game of counting, foresight, and careful sowing — you plan several moves ahead, reading the board like a ledger. The same instincts that make a good Mancala player make a good strategist: see the whole system, not just the next move.

Allegedly a 5th-grade classroom champion (2018 — to be confirmed).

How to play

You are the bottom row. Click any of your non-empty pits to sow.
Stones are distributed counterclockwise. Your store (right) collects captured stones — the opponent's store (left) is skipped.
If the last stone lands in your store, you take another turn.
If the last stone lands in an empty pit on your side and the opposite pit has stones, you capture both groups into your store.
The game ends when one side's pits are all empty. The player with more stones in their store wins.
