How to play
Goal:
end with more seeds in your store than your opponent.
Your side
is the six pits with the cyan rim. Your
store
is the big cyan-rimmed pit: on the right in landscape, at the bottom in portrait.
Sowing:
pick one of your pits. Its seeds drop one by one into the following pits, including your store, but never your opponent's store.
Free turn:
last seed lands in your store, you go again.
Capture:
last seed lands in an empty pit on your side and the pit opposite has seeds: both go to your store.
Game end:
as soon as either side is empty, everyone banks the seeds left on their own side. Most seeds wins.
