BaobitSeedkeeper’s Mancala

Welcome to
the seedkeeper’s grove.

Help a friendly pangolin gather the larger harvest in a three-dimensional game of Kalah Mancala.

1. Choose one of your six pits. Its seeds travel one at a time around the board.
2. Your store is on the right. End there for another turn. Skip your rival’s store.
3. Gather more seeds. An empty home pit can capture the seeds opposite.

Start with a short Seed Trial, or enjoy a full four-seed match. Take all the thinking time you need.

A handful of possibilities.

Your six pits are the bottom row, labeled 1–6. Your store is the long bowl on the right. Your rival plays the top row and keeps the left store.

Sowing: empty one nonempty pit on your side. Drop one seed into each following pit, including your own store and skipping the rival’s store. The highlighted route shows their journey.

Extra turn: if your last seed lands in your own store, choose another pit.

Capture: if your last seed lands in an empty pit on your side and the opposite pit has seeds, put that last seed and all opposite seeds into your store. An empty opposite pit gives no capture.

The harvest: when either row becomes empty, the other row’s remaining seeds are swept into its owner’s store. The larger store wins; equal stores tie.

Seed Trials are reachable positions taken from legal four-seed games. Every trial can be won. Solve 36 trials in each grove and collect up to three stars without hints. Full Match begins with four seeds in every pit.

Route lens lets you inspect a pit before sowing. Tap a pit, then select “Sow this pit.” With the lens off, a tap sows immediately. Keys 1–6 choose pits, Enter confirms a lens preview, H gives a hint, U undoes your last decision and its rival responses, and R restarts.
