Motshameko

Oware

Land on two or three, take the run behind it, never starve them.

Two rows of six, forty-eight seeds and no stores at all: what you capture leaves the board and sits beside you. Land your last seed in an opponent pit that then holds two or three seeds and it is yours, along with any run of thin pits behind it.
