How to Win

This game is over when a player has no more stones on his or her side of the board. The winner is the player with the greatest total number of stones in his or her mancala and any remaining stones on his or her side of the board.

Objective of the Game

Each player attempts to collect as many stones as possible before one of the players clears his or her side of the stones.
