An AI opponent is available for this game!
This modern mancala game has several unusual features: capturing is compulsory, capturing is considered a complete move, and capturing occurs when you have an empty hole. Forced moves and sacrifices are the keys to success in this game.

| Laurie_Menke | 1 | Fast and fun, with a strategy that sort of sneaks up on you. ;o) |

| CDRodeffer | 0 | A different type of Mancala game. I'm not sure what I think of it yet, other than to say that the opening can take a long time. |
| Cerulean | 0 | Still wrapping my head around this one, but I expect my rating to improve with time. |
| megamau | 0 | Still on the fence. I don't know if it is possible to read more than a couple of move ahead and thus have a sembiance of strategy instead of just tactics. |
| unic | 0 | Interesting... better than most Mancala variants, and thus one of the few Mancala variants I'm happy to play. |
| Joe_Hill | -1 | |
| MarkSteere | -2 | Powerful second move advantage, even among total beginners, according to the designer. Redesign being considered awarding ties to first move player. Truly an abomination. |
