Bring seeds to your store
You start with four seeds in each of six bowls. Tap a nonempty bowl or use Tab and Enter/Space. Sow its seeds one at a time, moving right along your row. Include your store and skip the computer’s store.

How to play
Use the last seed
Finish in your store to take another turn. Finish in a previously empty bowl on your side to capture that seed and the opposite bowl’s seeds, if the opposite bowl is nonempty. The computer follows the same rules.
Finish with more seeds
An empty row ends play immediately. Remaining seeds sweep into their own side’s store. More seeds wins; equal counts draw. Choose Easy, Normal or Hard. Restart starts fresh. Undo returns to before your last choice, including the computer’s replies.
Strategy
Count to your store
Look for a bowl whose last seed reaches your store. An extra turn gives you another choice before the computer replies. Count the whole route when seeds travel beyond your store.
Watch both empty bowls
An empty bowl may set up a capture, but another move can fill it first. Check what the computer could capture next. Consider who receives the final sweep before emptying your last playable bowl.
About the game
Kalah on a wooden board
This Mancala variant uses six bowls per side, extra turns and opposite-bowl captures. You move first. The carved bowls show each count, and your final score is the number of seeds in your store.
