How to play

Goal

Collect more stones in your store (the large pit on your right) than your opponent.

Your turn

Pick one of your six pits and sow its stones one-by-one counterclockwise, dropping into pits and your own store (never the opponent's store).

  • Land your last stone in your store → take another turn.
  • Land it in one of your own empty pitscapture that stone plus all stones in the pit directly opposite, into your store.

When either player's six pits are all empty, the other player sweeps their remaining stones into their store. Most stones wins.
