This says you place the stones clockwise. Instructables say counter- clockwise. Which is correct? Thank you. Question 1 year ago on Step 5. A question! Say I have landed with my last stone in an empty pit on my side. I understand I get to take all the stones of my opposition directly across.
I get to put those stones in my mancala. Now do I also place my stone into my mancala at this point or does it stay where it was placed? And second question. Is my play over or do I get to go again?

Mancala is really a family of games which includes Kalah along with many other variations. Also there are 4 stones for each hole including the end ones plus two more,are they spares? I am not sure if its a different version,I think it was bought in Africa as a souvenir.
Hope I am not too confusing. S your instructable was very good. Reply 3 years ago. I've heard there are a lot of variations to playing mancala. If you want to play it the way mentioned above, you'll need to set it up as if you had the same board with the same layout, that is, you'll just need to remove the extra stones, play as if there are only 6 holes in the center, and make the end holes are connected play as if column 1 holes 'connected' as one mancala, and as if column 8 holes are connected as the other mancala.
Question 3 years ago on Step 2. Say i have like 15 stones in one hole. When I make the full rotation back to the hole that originally had the 15 stones, do I skip that hole or place one in there? Answer 3 years ago.
Normally, and the way I've always played, is that you don't have to skip the original hole that you played stones from. I prefer this method as it makes things less confusing, and I don't see any good reason to skip the original hole other than it slightly changes the strategy. But I've heard there is a variation where that is an official rule. So, it's up to you if you want to include that rule or not. If you pass over another player's store during your turn, you do not place a stone in their pit.
The game ends when one player has emptied the six holes of stones on their side. The other player then takes all the stones on their own side and places them into their store or bowl. The winner of the game is the player with the most stones in their mancala store.
