Mancala games

This two-player board game app features several variations of the classic mancala game, including kalah, oware, and congkak. Players use seeds or counters on a board with six houses per side and two larger end zones (stores). The goal is to accumulate more seeds in your store than your opponent.

The app includes distinct rulesets for each mancala variant:

Kalah:

1. Each house starts with four (or five to six) seeds.
2. Players take turns sowing seeds from one of their houses counter-clockwise, filling each house (including their own store, but excluding their opponent's).
3. Capturing occurs when the last seed lands in an empty house owned by the player, and the opposite house contains seeds. Both are then added to the player's store.
4. Landing the last seed in your store grants an extra turn.
5. The game ends when one player has no seeds left in their houses. The remaining seeds are added to the opponent's store, and the player with the most seeds wins.

Oware:

1. Each house begins with four (or five to six) seeds.
2. Players sow seeds counter-clockwise from a chosen house, omitting the starting house and end zones. If a house initially holds 12 or more seeds, the 12th seed is placed in the next house.
3. Seeds are captured if the last sown seed brings an opponent's house count to exactly two or three. This capture can extend to previous houses if they also reach two or three seeds.
4. If an opponent has no seeds, the player must make a move that gives the opponent seeds. If impossible, the player captures all seeds in their territory, ending the game.
5. The game ends when one player captures over half the seeds, or when both players have an equal number (draw).
