• In-development! v0.5
  • Mancala rules here
    
  • Players take turns selecting a pit with D-pad, then A/B/X/Y to begin the turn
  • Player 1 selects from the bottom row and moves pieces into their goal on the right, while Player 2 selects from the top row and their goal is on the left.
  • Player gets a free turn if they end in their goal
  • Avalanche rule: If player places final piece in a non-empty pit, they scoop up those pieces and continue around the board
  • Capture rule: Player gets to steal from opponent if they (1) land in an empty pit on their side and (2) the opponent has pieces in the opposite pit.
  • Game ends when a player has no pits to choose from on their turn. The opposing player gets to keep all pieces currently on their side.
  • Update: Added menu with gameplay options
  • Update: Flipped Player 1 to bottom (typically how players see Mancala)
  • Update: Added computer player to for single-player games
