Mancala games

This two-player board game app offers a collection of Mancala games, including Kalah, Oware, and Congkak. Players use seeds or counters on a board with six pits ("houses") per side and two larger end zones ("stores"). The goal is to amass more seeds than your opponent.

The app features several Mancala variations. Here's a summary of the rules for Kalah and Oware:

Kalah Rules:

1. Each house starts with four (or five to six) seeds.
2. Players take turns sowing seeds from one of their houses counter-clockwise, filling each house (including their own store, but excluding their opponent's).
3. If the last seed lands in an empty house owned by the player, and the opposite house contains seeds, both are captured and added to the player's store.
4. Landing the last seed in one's store earns an extra turn.
5. The game ends when one player has no seeds left in their houses. Remaining seeds are added to the opponent's store, and the player with the most seeds wins.

Oware Rules:

1. Each house begins with four (or five to six) seeds.
2. Players sow seeds counter-clockwise from a chosen house (excluding the end zones and the starting house). If a house initially held 12 or more seeds, the 12th seed is placed in the next house, skipping the starting house.
3. Capture occurs when the last sown seed brings an opponent's house to exactly two or three seeds. This captures those seeds, and potentially more if previous seeds also resulted in a count of two or three in an opponent's house.
4. If an opponent has no seeds, the current player must make a move giving the opponent seeds. If impossible, the player captures all their own seeds, ending the game.
5. The game ends when one player captures over half the seeds, or when both players have half (a draw).
