Kalah (6,4) — How to Play

1. Goal: finish with more seeds in your store than your opponent.
2. Board: each player has 6 pits and 1 store (Kalah). Start with 4 seeds per pit.
3. Move: choose one of your non-empty pits and pick up all seeds. Sow them one-by-one counterclockwise into the next pits and your store.
4. Skip opponent store: you never place seeds into your opponent’s store.
5. Extra turn: if your last seed lands in your store, you play again.
6. Capture: if your last seed lands in an empty pit on your side, you capture that seed plus all seeds in the opposite pit into your store (only if the opposite pit has seeds).
7. Game end: if either side’s 6 pits become empty, the game ends. Remaining seeds on the other side are swept into that player’s store.

Move notation (for Load/Copy): P0 uses a–f (left→right, indices 0–5), P1 uses A–F.

Tip: Hover a valid pit on your turn to see it highlighted.
