Sow seeds counter-clockwise around the board. When your last seed lands in an opponent's house and brings it to 2 or 3 seeds, you capture them. Most seeds at the end wins.Learn by playing — takes 30 seconds
How a game endsGrab more than half the seeds — 25 of the 48 — and the game is yours. It can also end when a side has no seeds left to play.And if the board just keeps repeating — the same position coming back again and again, with no captures, often a trailing player shuffling seeds to avoid a loss — the game is settled where it stands: each side keeps the seeds on its own row, and whoever has more wins. You'll see a repeating position warning one move before this happens, so no one can drag a decided game out forever.
