2 rows of 7 small pits plus one store pit on each end of the board

HOW TO PLAY
1

Fill each small pit with the same number of shells, leaving both store pits empty at the start.

2

On your turn, scoop all shells from one small pit on your side and sow them counterclockwise, dropping one shell per pit, including your own store but skipping your opponent's store.

3

If your last shell lands in your own store, take another turn immediately.

4

If your last shell lands in an empty small pit on your side, capture that shell along with all shells in the opposite pit and place them in your store.

5

If your last shell lands in an occupied pit, pick up all shells there and keep sowing in the same direction.

6

The game ends when one side's small pits are empty; each player adds any remaining shells on their side to their store, and the fuller store wins.
