Mancala is a mini-game based on a popular board game of the same name. It can be played by clicking on any Mancala board in the Book Room. The game is two-player. Players take turns moving stones around the board, with the goal being to collect as many stones as they can in their mancala (the large, oval-shaped space at the end of the board).
How to Play[]
The objective of Mancala is to get more stones than the opponent before either side of the board is cleared. Each player has access to the nearest six holes and cannot gather stones from the opposite side. Taking turns, each player selects a group of stones on their side of the board and puts one stone in each hole (including ones on the opponent's side) until the pile runs out. The player only puts stones in their Mancala - they do not put it in their opponent's. If the last stone in the pile goes in the player's Mancala, they get an extra turn. Additionally, if the player's last stone goes in a hole opposite of the opponent's, the player takes all the stones from the opposite hole plus the last one they put. The game ends when one side of the board is empty. The player who still has stones left on their side keeps those stones. Players earn coins equal to their final score.
Trivia[]
