Initial Position

At his turn a player empties one of his holes and distributes its contents in an counterclockwise direction. After a single lap the move is finished.

A player captures the last seed he is distributing if it is dropped into an empty hole of the opponent.

When a player has no seeds to move at his turn the game is over and his opponent captures the remaining seeds.

The player who won most seeds is declared the winner.
