Ali Guli Mane

Ali Guli Mane (Kannada: ಅಳಿ ಗುಳಿ ಮಣೆ; Tulu: ಚೆನ್ನೆಮಣೆ) is an abstract strategy board game of the mancala family, from Karnataka in South India.

[1] It is known as Chenne Mane in Tulu Nadu, Akal Patta in North Karnataka, and Satkoli (सत्कोलि) in Maharashtra.

It is similar[citation needed] to pallanguzhi from the neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu.

In each turn, the player removes all seeds from a hole and distributes them clockwise or anti-clockwise, at their own choice.

Ali Guli Mane is often played as the Congkak, following the first game with new matches handicapped.
