Seeds in the Hollow

The Prompt

Play a session of any attested Mancala variant — Oware, Bao la Kiswahili, Kalah, Ayo, Congkak, or another — with at least one other player. Use physical counters if possible: stones, seeds, or beads in pits dug in earth or carved in wood. Attend to the rhythm of sowing — the way the hand distributes and the mind counts ahead. Record the variant played, the conditions, and one moment in which the cyclical motion of the seeds disclosed something about the game's deeper structure.

Completion Criteria

The variant played, the opponent (or initial), the date and conditions, and a brief written account of the moment when the sowing rhythm became meaningful.
