Two-Player Strategy Board Game
Mancala games are a family of two-player turn-based strategy board games played with small stones, beans, or seeds and rows of holes or pits in the earth, a board or other playing surface. The objective is usually to capture all or some set of the opponent's pieces. (Wikipedia).
Mancala 遊戲是一類雙人回合制策略棋盤遊戲，使用小石子、豆子或種子，以及在地面、棋盤或其他遊戲表面排列的孔洞或坑洞進行遊戲。目標通常是捕獲對手的所有或部分棋子。（維基百科）。
There are a lot of games in the mancala family: oware, bao, omweso and so on.
Mancala 家族中有許多遊戲：奧瓦雷（Oware）、包（Bao）、奧姆韋索（Omweso）等。
It's an implementation of several mancala games - kalah, oware, congkak.
這是幾種 Mancala 遊戲的實現——卡拉赫（Kalah）、奧瓦雷（Oware）、孔格克（Congkak）。
The game provides a board and a number of seeds or counters. The board has 6 small pits, called houses, on each side; and a big pit, called an end zone or store, at each end. The object of the game is to capture more seeds than one's opponent.
遊戲提供棋盤和若干種子或計數器。棋盤每側有 6 個小坑，稱為“房子”；每端有一個大坑，稱為“終點區”或“儲藏室”。遊戲的目標是比對手捕獲更多的種子。
Kalah rules:
卡拉赫（Kalah）規則：
At the beginning of the game, four (five to six) seeds are placed in each house.
遊戲開始時，每個房子中放置四顆（五至六顆）種子。
Each player controls the six houses and their seeds on the player's side of the board. The player's score is the number of seeds in the store to their right.
每位玩家控制棋盤上己方一側的六個房子及其中的種子。玩家的得分是其右側儲藏室中的種子數量。
Players take turns sowing their seeds. On a turn, the player removes all seeds from one of the houses under their control. Moving counter-clockwise, the player drops one seed in each house in turn, including the player's own store but not their opponent's.
玩家輪流播種種子。在回合中，玩家從己方控制的其中一個房子中取出所有種子。按逆時針方向，玩家將一顆種子依次放入每個房子中，包括自己的儲藏室，但不包括對手的儲藏室。
If the last sown seed lands in an empty house owned by the player, and the opposite house contains seeds, both the last seed and the opposite seeds are captured and placed into the player's store.
如果最後播下的種子落在玩家擁有的空房子中，且對面的房子中有種子，則最後播下的種子和對面房子中的種子均被捕獲，並放入玩家的儲藏室。
If the last sown seed lands in the player's store, the player gets an additional move. There is no limit on the number of moves a player can make in their turn.
如果最後播下的種子落入玩家的儲藏室，玩家將獲得額外的一次行動機會。玩家在一個回合內可以採取的行動次數沒有限制。
When one player no longer has any seeds in any of their houses, the game ends. The other player moves all remaining seeds to their store, and the player with the most seeds in their store wins.
當某位玩家的所有房子中均沒有種子時，遊戲結束。另一位玩家將剩餘的所有種子移至其儲藏室，儲藏室中種子最多的玩家獲勝。
Oware rules:
奧瓦雷（Oware）規則：
At the beginning of the game, four (five or six) seeds are placed in each house. Each player controls the six houses and their seeds on the player's side of the board. The player's score is the number of seeds in the store to their right.
遊戲開始時，每個房子中放置四顆（五或六顆）種子。每位玩家控制棋盤上己方一側的六個房子及其中的種子。玩家的得分是其右側儲藏室中的種子數量。
On his/her turn the player removes all seeds from one of his/her hous, and distributes them, dropping one in each house counter-clockwise from this house, in a process called sowing. Seeds are not distributed into the end scoring houses, nor into the house drawn from. The starting house is always left empty; if it contained 12 (or more) seeds, it is skipped, and the twelfth seed is placed in the next house.
在輪到某位玩家時，該玩家從己方的一個房子中取出所有種子，並按逆時針方向依次將一顆種子放入每個房子中，這一過程稱為“播種”。種子不放入終點的計分房子，也不放入被取種子的房子。起始房子始終留空；如果其中包含 12 顆（或更多）種子，則跳過該房子，第十二顆種子放入下一個房子。
Capturing occurs only when a player brings the count of an opponent's house to exactly two or three with the final seed he sowed in that turn. This always captures the seeds in the corresponding house, and possibly more: If the previous-to-last seed also brought an opponent's house to two or three, these are captured as well, and so on until a house is reached which does not contain two or three seeds or does not belong to the opponent. The captured seeds are placed in the player's scoring house.
僅當玩家透過本輪播下的最後一顆種子，使對手某個房子中的種子數量恰好變為兩顆或三顆時，才會發生捕獲。這總是會捕獲對應房子中的種子，可能還有更多：如果倒數第二顆種子也使對手的某個房子變為兩顆或三顆，則這些種子也會被捕獲，依此類推，直到遇到一個不包含兩顆或三顆種子或不屬於對手的房子為止。捕獲的種子放入玩家的計分房子。
If an opponent's houses are all empty, the current player must make a move that gives the opponent seeds. If no such move is possible, the current player captures all seeds in their own territory, ending the game.
如果對手的所有房子均為空，當前玩家必須採取一步能使對手獲得種子的行動。如果無法做到這一點，當前玩家將捕獲其領土內的所有種子，遊戲結束。
The game is over when one player has captured more than half seeds, or each player has taken half seeds (draw).
當一名玩家捕獲了超過一半的種子，或雙方各獲得一半種子（平局）時，遊戲結束。
