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.
