Description
Murray 7.5.63 (Davies 1925: 140-141)
Two rows of five holes
Five counters in each hole
Players sown from any one of their holes.
Sowing can occur in the following directions:
From the leftmost two holes: clockwise
from the rightmost two holes: anti-clockwise
from the center hole: the player may choose either direction.
If the final counter falls into a hole in the opponent's row containing either one or three counters, making it now contain two or four, these are taken. If the holes before them also contain two or four, in an unbroken sequence, they may all be captured.
Single counters cannot be sown.
When neither player can move, the single counters in each player's rows are taken by the player belonging to those rows. The player with the most counters wins.
