About Fish Mancala
Fish Mancala starts each pit with three pearls, for thirty-six on the board. Sow and capture toward the displayed store target: one in the lesson, twelve on Easy and eighteen in the challenge. The shorter goal gives each extra turn immediate value.
How to play Fish Mancala
Choose one of your playable pits and sow its pearls around the board. A last pearl in your store earns another move. A legal capture can transfer more pearls into the store; check the opposite pit and landing square before choosing a route.

Reach a store target on a thirty-six-pearl board
Count the distance from a candidate pit to your store. If its last pearl lands there, you can make another move immediately. Compare that second opportunity with a different pit that produces a capture now.
What to plan before your next move
Read the store counter before calculating a long sequence. A move that reaches the target can end the short race without emptying both rows. Do not use the forty-eight-stone total from the full classic setup to judge this board.
Fish Mancala or Mancala?
Mancala begins with four stones per pit and uses its full-board scoring finish. Fish Mancala has three pearls per pit and a displayed store threshold, changing both the starting arithmetic and the stopping point.

Common questions
Why are there only thirty-six pearls in Fish Mancala?
The short setup starts with three in each of twelve pits. Follow the displayed store target rather than assuming a forty-eight-stone game.
