Mancala

This a rust implemention of the mancala board game's very specific rule set. This rule set is only used at my family, so it's not going to be much use to anyone, but them. However I will tell the rules over here.

Rules

Board

The basic setup is like this. 6 'balls' in each hole except in the 2 big ones which I call trash, because they are not going to be used throughout the game. The game is played by 2 players and each hold 1 half of the board, divided by the metal in the picture.

Turns

The players decide who comes first and go one by one.

• The current player selects a whole (other then trash), and takes all the balls from it.
• The player places the balls counter clock-wise from his hand 1 by 1 into each hole (includeing trash) until there hand is empty.
• If the last ball was placed in a trash or in an empty hole, then the turn is finished
• Otherwise the player takes every ball from the hole (including the one that shoud have been placed here) and starts the process again.

Winning

The game ends when a player has no balls in his territory (other then trash). This player wins.
