Mancala Kalah Offline

Mancala is a whole family of seed sowing games. This one plays Kalah: six pits a side, four seeds in each, and one rule that changes everything. Drop your last seed in your own store and you get another turn. Land in an empty pit on your side and you capture the seeds across from it.

You can play the computer on three levels. Easy plays loosely. Medium looks one reply ahead. Hard searches many moves deep and plans around free turns, so a careless move gets punished. In my tests Hard beat Medium in all 20 games.

Or hand the phone across the table and play a friend.

Every pit shows its count in a big number, so you never count pebbles. After each move a short line says what happened, like "You captured 5 seeds." Move tips outline a pit whose last seed lands in your store and tell you why.

Dark mode gets a warm walnut board and daytime a light linen one. No internet or account needed.
