Layli Goobalay

It is a variant of the classical count and capture game mancala (from the Arabic word naqala, meaning literally "to move"), which is one of the oldest two-player strategy board games played throughout the world.

Layli Goobalay means "to exercise with circles" in the Somali language.

[1] Layli Goobalay is played on a 2x6 mancala board (i.e., 2 rows of 6 pits each), with 48 seeds.

At his or her turn, the player takes all the seeds from a pit and sows them counterclockwise.

If the last seed of a sowing falls in a non-empty pit that is not a Uur (see below), relay-sowing applies.
