Six seeds

Seventy-two seeds, long laps, and a slow build instead of early traps.

Six seeds a pit puts seventy-two in play, so thirty-seven wins and thirty-six each is a draw. Expect a long game.

Most moves now run past your store and deep into your opponent's row, and fat pits sow the whole way round and back into themselves. Counting is harder, so take your time with the pit numbers.

Play is slower and more positional. Empty pits are rare, so early captures are rare too, and the middle game is about steering seeds towards your store while keeping the pits facing your opponent's empty ones thin. A1 reaches your store exactly on move one. The pie rule applies.
