Full description

Mancala Kay is a refined take on the Awalé/Oware/Wari family. Master the “Kay” rhythm: capture the moment a pit reaches four stones, earn a bonus turn, and play through rounds that refill by four, with crossed pits reopening only after another capture. Learn the flow in minutes—then challenge AI opponents or pass the board across the table. Kay principles: • Capture the instant a pit reaches four stones (“Kay!”) • Take an immediate bonus turn after every capture • Relay sowing continues until you land in an empty pit • Round end: refill each pit by four; crossed pits reopen only after a capture • Final four stones auto-capture and auto-pass prevents stalemates Modes & finish: • Solo vs AI (Easy/Medium/Hard), pass-and-play, spectator board • Smooth sowing animations, sound, and optional haptics • Quick tutorial with strategy tips and move previews Start with Mancala Kay and rediscover the classic sowing strategy in a new light.
