🎮 Mancala Games: Kalah, Oware & Congkak — A Classic Board Game Experience

Rediscover the ancient strategy of the mancala family with this beautifully designed, multi-game board experience for two players. Whether you're drawn to the classic simplicity of Kalah, the tactical depth of Oware, or the traditional charm of Congkak, this app offers an authentic, engaging way to enjoy centuries-old mind games.

🌿 Game Overview

Each game features:

• A wooden-style board with 12 small pits (houses), arranged in two rows of six.
• Two large end zones (stores) at opposite ends — one for each player.
• Seeds, beans, or counters used to move and capture.
• Two-player, turn-based gameplay that challenges memory, planning, and foresight.

The goal? Outthink your opponent and capture more seeds than they do.

📌 Game Modes

1. Kalah – The Classic Strategy Classic

Simple rules, deep strategy.

• Setup: 4 seeds in each of the 12 houses (can be configured to 5 or 6 for more variation).
• Objective: Collect more seeds in your right-side store than your opponent.
• Gameplay:
  • On your turn, pick up all seeds from one of your six houses.
  • Sow them counterclockwise, placing one seed in each house (including your own store, but not your opponent’s).
  • Capture Rule: If the last seed lands in an empty house on your side, and the opposite house contains seeds, you capture both the last seed and the seeds in the opposite house — placing them all in your store.
  • Free Move: If the last seed lands in your own store, you get an extra turn. You can keep playing as long as you continue landing in your store.
• End Game: When a player has no seeds left in any of their six houses, the opponent takes all remaining seeds on their side and places them in their store. The player with the most seeds wins.

2. Oware – The Tactical Capture Game

Known as "the game of skill," with a focus on precise timing and pattern recognition.

• Setup: 4 seeds per house (configurable to 5 or 6).
• Objective: Capture more than half the total seeds (24 in a 4-seed game) to win. A draw occurs if both players capture exactly half.
• Gameplay:
  • On your turn, select one of your six houses and remove all seeds.
  • Sow them one at a time, moving counterclockwise, skipping the starting house and your opponent’s store.
  • If the starting house had 12 or more seeds, it is skipped entirely.
  • Capture Rule: If the last seed lands in an opponent’s house and causes that house to have exactly 2 or 3 seeds, you capture all seeds in that house.
    • Captures can chain: if previous moves also made opponent houses total 2 or 3, those are captured too — until a house fails the condition or isn’t owned by the opponent.
  • Captured seeds go into your own store.
• End Game:
  • If all opponent houses are empty, you must make a move that gives seeds to your opponent.
  • If no such move exists, you capture all remaining seeds on your side, and the game ends.
  • Game ends when one player captures over half the seeds, or when both players have captured exactly half (draw).

3. Congkak – The Traditional Southeast Asian Game

A culturally rich variant popular in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore.

• Setup: 4 seeds per house (configurable).
• Objective: Collect more seeds in your store than your opponent.
• Gameplay:
  • Similar to Kalah, but with unique capture mechanics:
    • After sowing, if the last seed lands in an empty house on your side, and the opposite house contains seeds, you capture both the last seed and the opposite house’s contents — placing them in your store.
    • No free move for landing in your own store (unlike Kalah).
• End Game: When a player has no seeds in any of their houses, the opponent takes all remaining seeds. The player with the most seeds wins.

✅ What’s New in Version 1.4.1 (Released: August 6, 2024)

• 🐛 Bug Fixes: Improved game state handling, smoother turn transitions, and corrected occasional capture logic errors.
• 🎨 UI Tweaks: Refined animations and visual feedback during sowing and capturing.
• 📱 Mobile Optimization: Better touch response and screen adaptation across devices.
