Mancala games

This two-player board game app offers a collection of Mancala games, including Kalah, Oware, and Congkak. Players use seeds or counters on a board with six houses per side and a larger end zone (store) on each end. The goal is to collect more seeds than your opponent.

The app features several Mancala game variations:

Kalah:

1. Each house starts with four (or five to six) seeds.
2. Players take turns sowing seeds from one of their houses counter-clockwise, filling each house (including their own store, but excluding their opponent's).
3. Capturing occurs if the last seed lands in an empty house owned by the player, and the opposite house contains seeds; both are captured and placed in the player's store.
4. Landing the last seed in the player's store grants an extra turn.
5. The game ends when one player has no seeds left in their houses. The remaining seeds are added to the opponent's store, and the player with the most seeds wins.

Oware:

1. Each house begins with four (or five or six) seeds.
2. Players sow seeds counter-clockwise from a chosen house, skipping the starting house and the end zones.
3. Capturing happens when the last sown seed brings an opponent's house to exactly two or three seeds. This captures those seeds, and potentially more from previous houses in the same turn if they also reached two or three seeds.
4. If an opponent has no seeds, the current player must make a move that gives the opponent seeds; otherwise, they capture all remaining seeds in their territory, ending the game.
5. The game ends when one player captures over half the seeds, or both players have an equal number (a draw).
