Description

wMancala is a computer adaptation of the board game Mancala.

Each player has six small bins and one large bin (called a Mancala or Kalaha), and all fourteen bins form a counter-clockwise sequence. Each small pot initially contains a number of stones. The player can choose any of his small bins and distribute the stones within into bins on the right, one stone per bin, counter-clockwise around the board--thus the player can also put stones into the opponent's small pots, but not the opponent's Mancala. If the player puts his last stone in his Mancala, he gets another turn; if he puts the last stone in one of his empty small bins, he captures the stones inside the opponent's bin that is directly across and puts them into his own Mancala (along with his own capturing stone).

The game ends when a player's small bins are all empty, at which point the player with more stones in his Mancala and his side of the board is the winner.
