Object of the Game: Each player attempts to collect as many playing pieces as possible before one of the players can clear their side of the game board of all pieces.

Game Play: Players alternate turns. On their turn, a player picks up all the playing pieces from one cup on their side of the game board. In a clockwise direction, including their mancala, the player drops one of the playing pieces into each of the next four- (4) cups. If the last playing piece is placed in an empty cup on that player’s own side, he/she may then take all the playing pieces from the opponent’s cup directly opposite that cup. All the playing pieces captured, including the capturing piece, are placed in the player’s own mancala.
