MEASUREMENTS

Two rows of pits facing each other, most commonly seven pits per side.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Distribute an equal number of seeds into every pit on both rows to start.

2

On your turn, scoop all seeds from one pit on your side and sow them one at a time into the following pits, moving in the agreed direction.

3

If your last seed lands in an already-occupied pit, pick up all the seeds there and keep sowing without pausing.

4

If your last seed lands in an empty pit on your own side, capture the seeds directly across from it in your opponent's row.

5

Captured seeds are set aside as points for that player.

6

Play continues until one side's pits are empty; whoever has captured the most seeds wins.
