"Note that there are lots of different rule sets for Mancala. Our\n"
"implementation uses this one:\n"
"\n"
"Setup: The board consists of 2 rows of 6 bins and 2 mancalas. Each\n"
" player is allocated the row of bins closest to him and the mancala\n"
" to his right. Initially each bin contains 4 stones, and the\n"
" mancalas are empty.\n"
"\n"
"Object: The object of the game is to place as many stones as possible\n"
" in one's mancala before the game ends. This happens when a player,\n"
" at his turn, has no legal moves, meaning that all his holes are\n"
" empty. The other player then gets to put any remaining stones on\n"
" his side into his mancala.\n"
"\n"
"Moving: At his turn, the player picks up all the stones in any of his\n"
" non-empty bins and starts to sow them by placing one in each of the\n"
" preceding bins, starting with the one on the right and continuing\n"
" counterclockwise around the board, skipping the oponents mancala\n"
" (but not his own).\n"
"\n"
"Extra move: If the last stone is sown in one's mancala one gets to\n"
" move again.\n"
"\n"
"Caputering: If the last stone is sown in an empty bin belonging to the\n"
" player, he captures all the stones lying in the bin directly across\n"
" this bin. These stones and the capturing stone are then placed in\n"
" the mancala. If the bin directly across is empty, nothing special\n"
" happens.\n"
