## Description

Mancala (Kalah) is an ancient board game.

This Chrome extension lets you play Mancala directly in your browser. Pick up marbles from any bottom hole and move them counter-clockwise. If your move ends in your home hole (the right-most hole) you get another turn. The game ends when all six holes on one side are empty, and the winner is the player with the most marbles in their home hole.
