Instructions


    Before you can play, you have to log in. Click the 'Log in' button. If you don't have an account on the server, enter the name and password you want to use, and click Create. Otherwise, enter the one you have and click OK.
    Once you've logged in, you can get a list of people also logged in. If there's nobody logged in, you're out of luck; it's a two player game. If there is someone to play against, you can select them from the list and click 'play'. If they accept, the game begins.
    How to play:
  • The board has 6 pits on either side, plus two large pits called mancalas. Your mancala is to your right. Each of the center pits starts with 4 stones.
  • Whichever player goes first chooses one pit on eir side of the board. E picks up all the stones in that pit and moves around the board - either clockwise or counter clockwise, but without changing direction - dropping a stone into each hole including eir own mancala, but not eir opponent's.
  • When it's your turn, the little red light will turn green. Click on the pit you want to move, and drag in the direction you want to move the stones. The cursor will turn into the left-right arrows when you can make the move legally.
  • If the last stone ends in eir mancala, e gets another turn.
  • If the last stones ends in a pit that is empty, and there are stones in the opposite pit, e steals those stones, and the finishing stone.
  • The game ends when one player has no stones on eir side. At that time, eir opponent gets all the stones on eir side.
