Description

Tchuka Ruma is a solitaire game from the mancala family, originated from around the Indian Ocean.

The aim is to get as many seeds as possible into the Ruma (the bigger hold/field.
Choosing a field, you plant the seed in classic mancala mode, going towards the Ruma and planting into it (and back if there are seeds left). Your next move depends on where the last seed was planted :
- In an empty field : game over, your score equals the number of seeds in the Ruma.
- In a small field : you must plant that field now, towards the Ruma.
- In the Ruma : you can choose any field to plant next.

The simplified version is played with two seeds in each field, the full version with six.
