How to Play
Kalah: Mastering the basics
To learn how to play Kalah, just click a pit to distribute its stones counter-clockwise. You drop one into each hole you pass, including your own stash. Using simple mouse or tap Kalah controls, you want to land that final stone in your own goal to earn an extra turn. Don't rush your moves.
Winning at Kalah
The real trick is the capture mechanic. If your last stone lands in an empty pit on your side, you snatch everything from the AI's opposite hole. It’s brutal. Just watch out for the endgame; once one side is empty, the game stops. Sometimes the AI plays defensively, which can be an absolute nightmare.
