This is a simplified version of the traditional four-row African Mancala games, like Hus and Bao, designed for quick and fun play.

Setup & Objective

• The board has 32 pits (4 rows of 8). Each player controls the two rows closest to them (16 pits).
• Each pit starts with 2 seeds. P1 (bottom) goes first.
• Objective: Capture the most seeds.

Movement (Sowing)

• Choose any pit on your side with 2 or more seeds.
• Pick up **all** seeds from that pit and distribute them one-by-one into consecutive pits in a **counter-clockwise direction.**
• **You only sow on your own 16 pits.** Do not drop seeds in the opponent's territory.
• Your turn ends when your hand is empty.

Capture Rule (Kids' Rule)

• Capture occurs only if your **last seed** lands in an **empty pit** (making the pit contain 1 seed) in your **closest row** (the row nearest to you: pits 8-15 for P1, pits 24-31 for P2).
• If this happens, you capture all seeds from the **two pits directly opposite** in the opponent's territory.
• Captured seeds are removed from the board and added to your score.

Winning the Game

• The game ends when one player **cannot make a legal move** (all pits on their side have 0 or 1 seed).
• The player who can still move captures all remaining seeds on the board and adds them to their score.
• The player with the **highest total score** wins!
