1. Set Up the Board
First things first, you need to make sure you have the right set up. Place the board between you and the other player, with the long side of the board facing you. You should see two rows, each with 6 cups, and one long cup on each end.
2. Gameplay
To decide which player goes first, you can either flip a coin or play Rock, Paper, Scissors.
3. Extra Tricks and Tips
As we said earlier, if the last stone you place is in your own mancala, then you get to take another turn.
