🎮 Mancala: Classic Two-Player Strategy Game (v1.4.1)

Experience the timeless art of strategy with three classic variants: Kalah, Oware, and Congkak.

Mancala is a family of ancient board games played across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, where players use skill, planning, and tactical foresight to outwit their opponent. This digital version brings the rich tradition of mancala to life with intuitive controls, beautiful design, and accurate rule sets.

🌟 Game Features

📦 Three Classic Variants

• Kalah – The most popular modern mancala. Capture seeds by landing the last seed in an empty house opposite a non-empty one. Extra moves, strategic sowing, and endgame captures make every match thrilling.
• Oware – A deep tactical game where captures occur when the final seed causes an opponent’s house to hold exactly 2 or 3 seeds. The "double-capture" mechanic and complex endgame rules offer a true test of skill.
• Congkak – A traditional Southeast Asian variant with unique sowing patterns and capture rules. Emphasizes precision and long-term planning.

🎯 Gameplay Highlights

• 6 Houses + 1 Store per Player – Classic 6×2 board layout with a large "store" (end zone) on each side.
• Customizable Starting Seeds – Choose 4, 5, or 6 seeds per house for varied difficulty and pacing.
• Intuitive Turn-Based Play – Tap a house to pick up all seeds and sow them counter-clockwise. Watch the board come alive as seeds fly!
• Smart Capture Logic – Automatic detection of capture conditions based on game rules (Kalah, Oware, or Congkak).
• Endgame Handling – Automatically calculates final scores, handles empty-side scenarios, and determines winners (or draws).

📱 User Experience

• Smooth animations and responsive touch controls.
• Clear visual cues for valid moves and capture opportunities.
• Toggle between game modes with one tap.
• Score tracking and move history (available in premium version).

🛠️ What’s New in v1.4.1 (Updated: August 6, 2024)

• ✅ Bug Fixes
  • Resolved issue where capture sequences were not properly triggering in Oware mode.
  • Fixed incorrect store update when a player lands the final seed in their own store (Kalah).

No new features—just a cleaner, more reliable experience for all players.
