Questions

Which Mancala rules are used?

Kalah with six pits per player and three, four or six starting seeds. Sow counterclockwise, including your store and skipping the opponent’s. Ending in your store grants an extra turn. Ending in your own empty pit captures that seed and its occupied opposite pit; an empty opposite pit is not captured in this variant. When either side is empty, immediately sweep the other side into its owner’s store. Most seeds wins.

How does computer play work?

Opponents run only in a bounded local Web Worker. Checkers, Reversi, Four in a Row and Mancala use limited search; other games use simple legal heuristics or dice. Difficulty adjusts search depth where applicable, not dice odds. These are practice opponents, not expert play.

Can I play on a phone?

Yes. Tap enabled squares, tokens or turn actions. Wide boards scroll inside their play area; zoom enlarges small targets, and full screen has a visible exit. Player numbers and symbols accompany colors.

Will my game restore automatically?

Returning to this game restores its own validated browser-local board and recent undo history when storage is available. Normal games never open automatically from the homepage. Restart and New game ask before replacing unfinished progress. Clearing site data removes saves.

Is my board sent to a server?

No. Moves, dice history and saved boards stay on this device. No account, online session or upload is used. Analytics receives no board positions or game history.
