Batik, a traditional Indonesian art from Java, uses a wax-resist dyeing technique. This technique has been practised for centuries. The word batik comes from the Javanese amba ("to write") and titik ("dots or points"), reflecting its detailed craftsmanship.

Batik tulis is the oldest form of batik making in Indonesia, where the wax is written or drawn (tulis) onto a length of fabric. Inspired by this timeless technique, we’ve applied the same intricate process to the wood surface of our mancala board games.

The batik-making process involves three key stages:
- Mencanting – Wax is applied using a canting tool to create intricate patterns.
- Mewarna – The fabric is dyed, with waxed areas resisting color
- Finishing – The fabric is dried and soaked in a fixing agent to preserve the colors.

How to Play Mancala

Setting Up

Place the board lengthwise between two players. Each player controls the five pits closest to them and their Store (the large pit on their right).

Gameplay

• Each player's score is the number of seeds in their Store.
• Fill all small pits with seeds, except the Stores.
• On your turn, pick up all seeds from one of your pits and drop them one by one counterclockwise, including your Store but skipping your opponent’s Store.

Winning the Game

The game ends when one player’s pits are empty. The opponent collects any remaining seeds in their pits and adds them to their Store. The player with the most seeds in their Store wins!
