Mankala
Supplies:
40 game pieces (buttons, beads, beans or small marbles), all
about the same shape and size
1 dozen egg cardboard holder
Rules:
Set up the game board (the egg holder) by putting no less than two and no more than five game pieces in each of the twelve holes. Use up all 40 game pieces. The number of game pieces in each hole can vary each game.
To Play:
Player A picks up all the stones from any cup and starting with the next cup to the right, drops one stone at a time into each successive cup. After he/she drops the last stone in a cup, Player A picks up all the stones in THAT cup and continues to drop one in each consecutive cup. Player A's turn ends when he/she puts the last seed in an empty cup. (Player A has the longest turn first)
Player B then chooses any cup of stones and begins a turn exactly like Player A's. A player scores when he/she drops the last stone in a cup with THREE others (making FOUR stones in a cup). The player then puts all four stones in his/her "bank".
If the player puts a stone in a cup with three others and it is not the last stone, the other player puts the four stones in his/her bank.
The player who gets the next to the last four stones gets the remaining stones on the board. The player who has accumulated the most stones in his/her bank, WINS!
