Kalaha (Mancala)

📖 How to Play & Rules – Kalaha (Mancala)

• Each player controls 6 small pits on their row and a large Store (Kalaha) to their right.
• On your turn, tap any of your 6 non-empty pits to pick up all its seeds and sow them one by one counter-clockwise into subsequent pits (including your own Store, skipping the opponent's Store).
• ⭐ Bonus Turn: If your last sown seed lands in your own Store, you earn an immediate free turn!
• 🎯 Capture: If your last seed lands in an empty pit on your own side and the opponent's pit directly across contains seeds, you capture all those seeds into your Store!
• The game ends when one side's 6 pits are completely empty. Remaining seeds go to their owner's Store, and the highest score wins.

💡 Strategy Tips & Tricks

• Classic 4-Seed Opening: Always open with your 3rd pit (4 steps from your Store) to land your last seed in your Store for an instant bonus turn!
