Set up the board with 6 small pits on each side and 1 store at each end
Place 4 stones in each small pit unless using a different agreed setup
Each player controls the 6 pits on their side and the store to their right
Choose a player to go first
On your turn, pick up all stones from one of your own pits
Sow the stones one by one into the next pits moving counterclockwise
Place one stone in each pit you pass
Include your own store when sowing
Skip your opponent’s store
If the last stone lands in your own store, take another turn
If the last stone lands in an empty pit on your side, capture that stone and all stones in the opposite pit
Put captured stones into your store
If the last stone lands in a non-empty pit, your turn ends
Play continues alternately until one side’s pits are all empty
When the game ends, move all remaining stones on the other side into that player’s store
Count the stones in each store
The player with the most stones wins
If both stores have the same number of stones, the game is a tie
