This is a very old game and it
takes awhile to figure it out. After several tries, I
finally beat the computer - woo hoo!
Game
Instructions:
Your goal is to get more gems into
your mancala (the cup on the right) than the computer can
get into its mancala (on the left).
You get to start, then the computer
takes its turn and so on.
1) You can only move gems on
your side (which is the bottom row).
2) To move, you click on one
of the cups in your row. This picks up all the pieces
in that cup and moves them counter-clockwise, putting one
gem in each cup. (You'll see!)
3) If the last gem of your
move lands in your mancala, you get to go again.
4) If the last gem of your
move lands in an empty cup on your side and there are gems
in the computer's cup right across from it, then all the
gems in both cups get put into your mancala.
