One player starts the game by clicking on the pile of gems that he wishes to start with. He then places one in each pocket to the left. Include your Mancala as a space as you place the stones in the pockets. If there are enough stones to go past your Mancala, continue placing them into your opponent's pockets. However, skip his Mancala when placing stones. If your last stone ends up in your Mancala, you get to take another turn. If the last stone you place ends in an empty pocket on your side of the board, you get to take that stone. Plus you get to take all of your opponent's stones that are in the opposite pocket and place them in your own Mancala.
