How do I play Mancala Byte?
Mancala Byte uses the classic Kalah rules. Each player has six pits and four stones. You pick up stones from a pit and sow them one by one around the board. Landing in your store grants another turn, and landing on an opponent's stones captures them. The player with the most stones wins.
