Mancala is a simple game with a rich history, often called a "sowing game." The game is played on a wooden board with two rows of six small pits, or "cups," and two larger pits, or "Mancalas," at each end. The objective is to capture more stones than your opponent.Players take turns "sowing" the stones. On your turn, you pick up all the stones from one of your own cups and drop them, one by one, into consecutive cups around the board. Strategic moves allow you to land your last stone in your Mancala to take an extra turn or to capture an opponent's stones. The game ends when one player's six cups are empty, and the player with the most stones in their Mancala wins.
