## What is Toguz Korgool?

Toguz Korgool (Тоғызқұмалақ / Togyzkumalak) is Kazakhstan's official national mind sport — a two-player seed-sowing strategy game played across Central Asia for centuries, built here to the letter of the Kazakhstan Ministry of Sport's official ruleset.

HOW IT'S PLAYED
Each side has 9 pits (otau) holding 9 seeds apiece, plus a kazan to collect what you capture. Pick a pit and sow its seeds one by one around the board — a pit holding just one seed sows that single seed forward alone instead of reseeding itself. Land your last seed in an opponent's pit that now holds an even count of seeds, and you sweep the whole pit into your kazan. Watch for the tuzdyk: land a third seed in the right opponent pit and claim it as a permanent collector — every seed landing there for the rest of the game redirects straight to your kazan, one tuzdyk per player, maximum, exactly as the official rules specify.

PLAY YOUR WAY
- Three AI difficulty levels, from a casual opponent up to a real minimax-powered challenge
- Local two-player pass-and-play on the same device
- Fully bilingual: English and Kazakh, switchable anytime from the Home screen
- A built-in walkthrough with live rule demos for sowing, capture, and tuzdyk — plus a How to Play button whenever you need a refresher
- No ads, no gambling, no chip economy

Easy to pick up, deep enough to be a national sport — from the makers of Fanorona and Surakarta, the same house of traditional board games brought faithfully to iPhone.
