Realtime Mancala vs Neon Backgammon

Mancala (Kalah rules) played in real time, with no turns at all. SOW WHENEVER YOU ARE READY Tap a pit to scoop up every stone in it and sow them one at a time to the right. They fall into your store at the far end but skip your opponent's. Then a three-second cooldown, and you go again, whether or not your opponent has finished. CHAINS AND STEALS If your last stone lands in your own store, the cooldown is skipped and you can sow again immediately. String those together and the board tilts fast. If your last stone lands in an empty pit on your side, you capture every stone in the pit opposite. Your own pits at risk of being emptied that way are flagged in red. HOW IT ENDS Bank 25 stones to win outright. If one side runs empty, each player collects what is left on their own side and the larger total wins. If the clock runs out, the fuller store wins.
