After you have transformed your egg cartons into a Mancala playboard,
collect some tokens and it's time to play!
To Play:
Sit across from your opponent and place game between the two of you so that your collection box is to your right and your opponent's box is to your left. Fill each egg carton bin with four tokens such as buttons or beans. The object is to collect the most tokens in your collection box.
The youngest player can go first. Play begins by picking all tokens in any one bin on your side of the game, which is the row facing you. Place a token in the bin to the right of the emply bin and continue dropping tokens one by one counterclockwise. If you reach your collection box, drop a token in the box and continue to your opponent's side until all tokens in your hand are distributed. Do not drop a token in your opponent's box. Gain an extra turn when the last token ends in your box. If the last token lands on your side of the game, take all of your opponent's tokens from his bin opposite that empty bin. Place them in your box.
Your opponent resumes play. When bins from one side of the game are empty, the game stops. Count tokens in boxes.
