Gordon Shumway: Thanks for the info. I was just curious and a bit confused. I've been playing mancala and things seem to be going smoothly. Whatever that bug is, Fencer will take care of it. :) I hope he's enjoyed his vacation. He probably has lots of work to do when he gets back
HoityToity: Thanks for that. I missed that rule. That changes the strategy a bit. I just reread the rules and you are correct. Your opponent misplayed the game in the end. I'm glad I read that rule because I just started my first game and I was under the impression that is was only the stones in the mancala that counted. ;)
