Correct. Or shiny gems. The travel version I bought had pebbles.... interesting that I actually paid for rocks. Anyway, whatever you use, they'll all look the same once they become highly-pixelated. This is the game where you pick a pit on your side of the board, pick up all stones, and drop one in each sequential bucket, filling your "Mancala", or big pit as you go. It's a pretty amusing game, and shouldn't be too hard to program. There are only 6 moves possible at a given time (which pit to pick up from), and there are < 6 moves whenever any of these pits empties itself. -John K.
