How to play

  1. The classic sowing game against a simple AI.
  2. Click one of your 6 pits (bottom row) to sow its seeds one at a time counter-clockwise, dropping one in your store along the way but skipping the AI's store entirely.
  3. Land your last seed exactly in your own store to go again; land it in an empty pit on your own side and you capture it plus the seeds directly opposite.
  4. The game ends when one side's pits are all empty - whoever has more seeds in their store then wins.
