Kalah
Kalah is a variant of Mancala game that often played in the western world. It is a two-player board game, and each player will have six houses plus one storehouse. Initially, there are four seeds within the houses before both players distributing their own seeds in anti-clockwise direction (i.e. known as sowing). During sowing, player will skip the opponent storehouse but not the player’s own storehouse. During sowing, if the last seed falls into a player’s own house that is unoccupied, the player can remove the last seed and all the seeds in the opposite house into the player’s own storehouse. Player will get a free turn if the final seed of sowing ends in the player’s storehouse. Otherwise, the turn is over. When one player no longer has any seeds in any of their houses, the game ends. The other player moves all remaining seeds to their storehouse. The player who has collected more seeds is the winner.
