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") on each side and a larger end zone ("store") at each end. The goal is to accumulate more seeds in your store than your opponent.

The app features multiple Mancala game variations:

Kalah:

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

Oware:

1. Starts with four to six seeds per house.
2. Players sow seeds counter-clockwise, omitting the end stores and the starting house. If the starting house had 12 or more seeds, the 12th seed is placed in the next house.
3. Capture occurs when the last seed brings an opponent's house count to exactly two or three. This captures those seeds, and potentially more, tracing back until a house with a different count or belonging to the player is reached.
4. If an opponent has no seeds, the player must make a move giving the opponent seeds; otherwise, they capture all their remaining seeds, ending the game.
5. The game ends when one player captures over half the seeds, or both players have half (a draw).
