One Each

A game of the mancala family for one or two players. Each side has six pits and a store, and every pit starts with four seeds. On your turn you lift every seed from one of your pits and sow them one at a time: along your row, into your store, and on round the board, skipping only the other player's store.

Land your last seed in your own store and you go again. Land it in an empty pit on your side, with seeds across from it, and you take the lot. The game ends the moment either row is empty. Each side keeps the seeds on its own side, most seeds wins, and a tie is a tie.

Nothing is hidden. Tap one of your pits and the path lights up seed by seed, with the last seed's pit ringed, a curved arrow if you will go again, and a wash over any seeds you will capture. It is drawn from the same move the game will make, so what you see is what happens.

Play the computer and it gets tougher when you win and gentler when you lose. A friend joins by tapping Play on the other side. No ads, no account, and nothing is stored on your device or anywhere else.

HOW TO PLAY

Touch any pit on your side to take it. Tap one of your pits to see the move, and tap it again to sow.

With a mouse, click the same way. On a keyboard, the arrow keys choose a pit, Enter or Space sows it, and Escape clears the choice. The sound stays off until you tap the speaker.
