Description

The most common set of rules for commercially sold games called Mancala concerns the game Kalah. Mancala is actually a whole family of games. Kalah was invented in 1940 by American William Champion Jr. He started selling the game in 1944, secured the rules in the 1950s, and founded Kalah Game Co. in 1958.

The game is played on a board with two rows, each consisting of six circular holes. The rows have a large storage at each end, called Kalah. One player owns the six holes closest to them and the Kalah from the right side. The game begins with four (4) seeds in each hole.

A player takes all the seeds from one of their holes and distributes them one by one, clockwise, into the holes and their own Kalah, but not into the opponent's store (Kalah). If the last seed lands in an opponent's hole or in a non-empty hole of the player, the move ends without capturing anything. If the last seed lands in the player's Kalah, they must move again.
