HOW TO PLAY
1
Sit across from your opponent with the board between you, each player owning the row of pits closest to them.
2
On your turn, scoop all the seeds from one of your own pits and drop one seed into each pit going counterclockwise around the board.
3
If your last seed lands in an opponent's pit that then holds two or three seeds, capture every seed in that pit.
4
Keep checking backward from your last dropped seed; if the pit before it is also an opponent's pit with two or three seeds, capture those too.
5
Continue taking turns until one side's pits are all empty, then each player counts their captured seeds.
6
The player with the most captured seeds when the game ends wins the match.
