Granary Rows

Mancala game
2 players, or 1 vs a bot
Phones and computers

Granary Rows is a mancala game that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for two players on one device, or one player against a bot.

Sow seeds anticlockwise round two rows of six pits and capture rival pits your last seed leaves holding two or three. Every capturing move pays one seed into a shared granary, which refills a player whose pits run dry instead of ending the game, and the first store to reach 25 seeds wins. Play five labelled bot levels or a second player on the same device.

Tips

A rival pit holding one or two seeds is a target: land your last seed there to make it two or three and take it.
After a capture the pits just before it are checked too, so a run of rival pits holding ones and twos can pay out several at once.
When ten or fewer seeds are left in the pits, each side keeps its own row's seeds, so late in the game hold seeds on your side.

What does the granary do?

Each capturing move puts one of its seeds into the shared granary instead of your store. When a player's turn comes and all six of their pits are empty, the granary refills them with one seed each while it has seeds, so play goes on.

How does a game end?

A store reaching 25 seeds wins at once. The game also ends when ten or fewer seeds are left in the pits, when a dry player meets an empty granary, or after 200 moves; then each side adds its own row's seeds to its store.
