Sowmere: Mancala

Every handful changes the table. Sowmere is an offline Mancala game using Kalah rules, built around a warm terracotta board, polished river stones and quiet original kalimba music. Choose a pit, read exactly where your move ends, and sow when you are ready. A complete purchase includes: • Four computer strengths: Learning, Thoughtful, Tactical and Deep. • Two players sharing one device. • Four- or six-stone starts and a choice of starting side. • 120 replayable tactical studies across six chapters, from extra turns and captures to endgame planning. The last chapter compares seven-move search estimates. • A local journal of your latest 60 finished tables, complete move replay and analysis. Continue playing from any recorded position. • A position editor: arrange the stones, name your position, save it and play it later. • Three additional board finishes earned through real matches and studies. • Optional move hints, undo, music, stone sounds and touch feedback. Your unfinished game, journal, settings, saved positions and study progress are kept on this device. Export your journal as a named JSON file through the system share sheet whenever you choose. The export is a match record, not a full backup or an import format. No account, ads, subscriptions, in-app purchases or analytics. No internet connection is needed to play. Support and privacy links open your browser. Sowmere uses one consistent rule set: skip the other store, earn another turn by ending in your store, capture only when your final stone lands in an empty pit on your side with stones opposite, and sweep the remaining stones when one side is empty. Ties are allowed. There is no pie rule. Search hints are estimates, not a guarantee of the best possible move. Designed for phones and tablets. English-language interface. Local data can be lost if you uninstall the app; there is no cloud sync.
