Game Kalaha

Just like Hus, Kalaha is an old board game that belongs to the Mancala games, Kalaha is also called the African stone game. Kalaha is played with a beautiful wooden board containing 6 small bowls and 2 larger bowls, the large bowls are called the Kalaha's.


The Kalaha game rules


The game board is placed between the two players so that each has 6 bowls in front of him. Each player passes over the six bowls in front of them and the Kalaha to their right.
Start the game with 4 stones in each bowl of the game board, the Kalahas remain empty. The first player chooses a bowl and takes all the stones out of it and places them one by one, counterclockwise, in the next bowls also in their own Kalaha, but not in the opponent's. If the last stone is placed in your own Kalaha, you may again. If the last stone comes into an empty bowl of the player, that stone and all stones from the opposite bowl may be taken and placed in their own Kalaha, if the opposite bowl is empty, the stone is placed in its own bowl and is the turn is over.
The game is over when all six bowls on one side of the board are empty. The other player may now also empty all the bowls and put them in his Kalaha. All stones in the Kalaha are now counted and the player with the most stones wins.
