Piç (Pic)DLP Game

Region Western Asia

Category Board, Sow

Description

Piç is a multiplayer mancala-style board game played in eastern Turkey, particularly near the city of Erzurum. Instead of being played on a board, the counters are placed in heaps, and players capture heaps from which they capture all counters which enter that heap.

Rules

Played by two to five players. Each player has three heaps of counters, with twelve counters per heap. Sowing occurs in an anti-clockwise direction. When a player creates a heap containing three counters in an opponent's heap, a circle is drawn around the heap and the player captures the counters in it and every counter sown into it for the rest of the game. When there are no heaps left, the player with the most counters wins.

And 1979: 52-53.

These rules were taken from the Piç ruleset.
