About Mancala:
Mancala is an ancient game originating in Egypt and Africa. The game is traditionally played on a carved wooden board using stones or marbles for game pieces.
Objective:
To have more stones in your bucket at the end of the game than the other player has in his bucket.
Rules:
- Mancala is a two player game.
- Each player has a row of cups and one bucket on the board. Player 1 has the top row of cups and the left-hand bucket while player 2 has the bottow row and right-hand bucket.
- To move, click on one of your cups. The stones from that cup will be taken and dropped, one at a time, in each following cup or bucket. If the last stone is dropped in your bucket, it is still your turn. Otherwise, it is now the other player's turn.
- The game is over when one player has completely emptied his row of cups.
