Mangala is the traditional Turkish mancala game: sow the stones from your pits and end with more stones in your store than your opponent.
Each side has six pits with four stones and a store on the right. Pick one of your pits and the stones are sown anticlockwise, the first one back into the same pit; your own store gets a stone and the opponent's is skipped. A pit with a single stone moves it to the next pit. If the last stone lands in your store you play again. If it makes an opponent's pit even you capture that pit, and if it lands in an empty pit of yours with stones opposite you take both. When one side runs out the game ends and that player also collects the stones left on the other side. Play a three-level computer or a friend on the same device.
