Mancala is a simple strategy game where the goal is to collect the most stones in your store.

Setup
Each pit starts with the same number of stones, usually 4. Each player controls the row in front of them and the store on their right.

How to play
Pick up all the stones from one pit on your side. Drop one stone into each pit as you move around the board, including your own store and skipping your opponent’s store. If your last stone lands in your store, you get another turn.

Capturing
If your last stone lands in an empty pit on your side, you capture that stone and the stones directly opposite and place them in your store.

Game end
The game ends when one side has no stones left. The other player collects any remaining stones.

Winner
The player with the most stones in their store wins.
