    Six seeds are recommended to be placed in each pit to increase the challenge of the game. The Mancala board consists of two rows of six pits, with four seeds placed in each pit initially. To play, a player picks up all seeds from one pit and deposits one seed in each subsequent pit clockwise, with seeds captured if the last one lands in an empty pit or their store. The goal is to empty all pits on the opponent's side, and the player with the most seeds in their store wins.

    NOTE: Increasing the number of seeds in each pit increases the complexity of the
    game.
    -- For a good challenge put six seeds into each pit and play with the pie rule to
    balance the first move advantage.

    ---

    SETUP

    The Mancala 'board' is made up of two rows of six holes, or pits, each. Next, four
    pieces -- marbles or stones -- are placed in each of the 12 holes.

    Each player has a 'store' to the right side of the Mancala board.

    PLAY

    The game begins with one player picking up all of the pieces in any one of the
    holes on his side.Moving counter-clockwise, the player deposits one of the stones
    in each hole until the stones run out.

    1. If you run into your own store, deposit one piece in it. If you run into your
    opponent's store, skip it.

    2. If the last piece you drop is in your own store, you get a free turn.

    3. If the last piece you drop is in an empty hole on your side, you capture that
    piece and any pieces in the hole directly opposite.

    4. Always place all captured pieces in your store.

    WINNING THE GAME

    The game ends when all six spaces on one side of the Mancala board are empty. The
    player who still has pieces on his side of the board when the game ends captures
    all of those pieces. Count all the pieces in each store. The winner is the player
    with the most pieces.
