How do you play Mancala?
Players take turns picking up all the stones from one pocket on their side of the board and dropping them one by one into the pockets that follow. If your last stone lands in an empty pocket on your side, you capture all the stones in the opposite pocket. The game ends when one player clears all their pockets, and the winner is the one who collected the most stones.
