Description

Kalah is a fun and strategic board game designed by William Julius Champion Jr. that's easy to learn and plays quickly, with games lasting around 10 minutes. It's a two-player game that's all about capturing seeds, and the rules are simple to pick up. The game is played on a board with two rows of six pits, plus a store at each end called the Kalah. Players take turns scooping up seeds from their pits and dropping them into other pits, trying to capture as many as they can. The game ends when one player runs out of seeds, and the player with the most seeds wins. With its simple rules and deep strategy, Kalah is a great game for players of all ages and skill levels. It's a classic example of an abstract strategy game, and its lack of in-game text makes it accessible to players who speak different languages.
