Mancala Game Pallanguzhi

Pallanguzhi is a traditional board game that originated in Tamil Nadu, India. It is also known by various other names such as "Pallankuli" or "Ali Guli Mane" in different regions. The game is typically played by two players and involves a wooden board with rows of small pits or cups. Each pit initially contains a certain number of seeds, beads, or small stones.

The objective of Pallanguzhi is to capture more seeds than your opponent. Players take turns picking up the seeds from one of their pits and distributing them counterclockwise into the succeeding pits. The game continues until one player is unable to make a move. The player with the most seeds in their collection at the end of the game is declared the winner.

Pallanguzhi is not only a source of entertainment but is also considered a traditional and cultural game in India. It has variations in rules and board designs, depending on the region. The game has been passed down through generations and is played in both rural and urban settings.
