MATERIALS
- A rectangular board with ten small pits and two larger end pits
- Small stones or seeds
HOW TO PLAY
1
Set up the board with five seeds in each of the ten small pits and none yet in the two larger end pits.
2
On your turn, pick up all seeds from one small pit on your side and sow them one at a time into each following pit around the board.
3
If your last seed lands in a pit followed immediately by an empty pit, capture the seeds in the next pit beyond it, chaining further captures if the pattern continues.
4
Seeds that land in the large end pits stay there and count only for that pit's owner at the end.
5
Continue until all small pits are empty; add each player's captured seeds to their end pit total, and the higher total wins.
