Florancala

 

This is a variant of Mancala, but instead of holes in a row you have a board of 12 dells in the shape of flower leaves. At the start pieces are placed into each leaf and each player gets wooden marbles of one color. In your turn you take out the pieces from a leaf and distribute them clockwise or anti-clockwise into the adjacent leaves. You may start only in a free or a reserved leaf. You reserve a leaf by placing a wooden marble of your color in the middle circle. If you place the last piece in an opposing dell and then there are 2 or pieces in the dell, you receive those pieces, too.
