Field notes

The game models sowing by having players pick up all seeds from a pit and drop them one by one around the board, with extra turns and captures determined by where the last seed lands. Alongside standard Kalah, the page exposes Oware and Congklak, documents Bao and other variants, and includes a rule builder for custom play. Records are stored on the device, while keyboard shortcuts support faster play.
