Tips and detailed strategy
Turkish Mangala — the bottom row of six pits is yours, the top row is the AI's; the large store on the right is your score bin, the one on the left is the AI's. Every small pit starts with 4 stones. Click any of your own pits to sow: in the Turkish variant, one stone stays in the starting pit and the rest are distributed one by one counter-clockwise, dropping into your store but skipping the opponent's. Where the last stone lands triggers three possible bonuses: in your own store grants an extra turn; in one of your empty pits sweeps that stone plus all of the opposing pit's stones into your store; in an opponent pit where the new total is even (2, 4, 6…) collects the whole pit. When one side empties all six small pits the game ends and the remaining stones go to that side's store. The bigger pile wins. Tip: chain extra-turn moves and aim to land the last stone on an opponent pit where the count goes even. AI uses 2-ply minimax.
