Sow seeds around twelve pits, feed an empty opposing side and time your harvest of twos and threes. AI practice · 2 players.
Rules and how to play
Abapa-style play with six pits per side and four seeds per pit. Pick up all seeds in one of your pits and sow counterclockwise, skipping the origin on a full lap. If the last seed makes an opposing pit contain two or three, harvest it and continue backwards through opposing pits containing two or three. If this would empty the opposing side, cancel all captures. When the opposing side is empty, feed it if possible. If feeding is impossible, each player collects their own remaining seeds. More than 24 wins; 24 each draws. Threefold repetition or 160 harvest-free turns settles the remaining seeds by side.
