## **How long should the game be?**

In the classic game every pit starts with four seeds. With fewer seeds a game is over quickly, with more it gets longer and more tactical.

**Played for centuries**

## **From the mancala family**

Sowing games like Oware or Bao have been played in Africa and Asia for centuries. Kalah is the best-known variant in Europe and America: two rows of six pits and a store for each side.

## **How to play**

Your goal is to have more seeds in your own store than your opponent at the end. Only the seeds in the store count.

1. 00055554444444**1**### **Sowing**

   Take all seeds out of one of your pits and drop them one by one counterclockwise into the following pits. Your own store gets a seed too, your opponent's store is skipped.
2. 10440555444444**2**### **Extra turn**

   If your last seed lands in your own store, you move again right away. That way you can make several moves in a row.
3. 134003252231401**3**### **Capturing**

   If your last seed lands in an empty pit on your side, you put it and all seeds of the pit across into your store.
4. 2523000000000000**4**### **End of the game**

   As soon as one side has no seeds left, the game is over. Each player puts the seeds on their side into their own store, and whoever has more wins.

## **Three tips to get started**

### **Count to your store**

A pit whose seeds reach exactly into your store gives you an extra turn. Often play those pits first, especially the ones close to your store.

### **Watch the empty pits**

An empty pit is a trap for your opponent when many of their seeds lie across from it. And keep an eye on your own full pits across from their empty ones.

### **Keep seeds on your side**

Seeds in your pits are yours at the end. A full pit close to your store is also hard to attack and gives you many options later.

## **What you can do here**

### **Play the bot**

Three levels. The hard bot looks many moves ahead.

### **Time control**

With or without a clock, from bullet to relaxed.

### **Move list**

Every move is recorded. Step through the game again with the arrow keys.

### **Clear rules**
