Rules

2x7 board. Seven counters in each hole. Sowing occurs in an anti-clockwise direction. In the first move, each player takes the contents of the leftmost hole and sows them except for the last counter, which is set aside. When sowing, players may take the entire contents of a hole, or only part of them. The players agree on a number of counters which need to be captured in order to win.
