How to play

Your 6 pits are the ones nearest you; your store is the big one to your right (in portrait, at the bottom). Tap one of your pits: you pick up all its seeds and sow them one by one, anticlockwise, in the following pits (yours, your store and the machine's, never in its store). If the last seed lands in your store, you play again. If it lands in an empty pit of yours with seeds opposite, you capture them all. When one side runs out of seeds, the game ends: whoever has more seeds in their store wins.

With the TV remote

🎮 D-pad to one of your pits · OK to sow.
