These are just a few basic tips to help you start out on the right foot of Mancala.
First, try to be the first person to go, meaning your name will be on the bottom of the Mancala box. Then, use the group of beads in the column 4 from your pile. If you don’t understand then just look at the picture and where the arrow is.
Using this group first will get you a free turn to go again, and when that happens, use the second group of beads from your pile. It should have five in it. If you do this then you will ruin the opportunity for your opponent to use their pile of 4 beads to get a free turn, and therefore they now have less chances of getting a free turn.
P.S. Do not move your 2 groups of pieces on the far left(Next to your opponents pile) these have the perfect chance for getting a Free Turn.
