How To Play Mancala Game?

Set up the board with 6 pits on each side and 1 store at each end

Place an equal number of stones in each pit, usually 4

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

Skip your opponent’s store when placing stones

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 any stones in the opposite pit

End your turn after sowing unless you earned another turn

The game ends when all pits on one side are empty

Move any remaining stones on the other side into that player’s store

Count the stones in each store

The player with the most stones in their store wins
