Mancala is a classic two-player board game that challenges you to think ahead as you move small stones, beans, or seeds across the board, aiming to outsmart your opponent and capture their pieces.

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!
