Capture more seeds than your opponent. The first player to capture 25 or more seeds (out of 48) wins.
The board has two rows of six pits. Each pit starts with 4 seeds (48 total). Players sit facing each other, each controlling the six pits on their side. There are no separate stores - captured seeds are kept aside.
The game ends when one player captures 25+ seeds (instant win), or when too few seeds remain for either player to capture more. Player with more captured seeds wins.
On your turn, pick up all seeds from one of your pits containing seeds. Sow counterclockwise, dropping one seed per pit, including opponent's pits. If you sow 12 or more seeds, skip the original pit on your second pass around.
Count seeds carefully to plan captures several moves ahead. Build up large seed counts in your pits for powerful sowing moves. Avoid leaving pits with 1 or 2 seeds in range of opponent's sowing moves.
