Kalaha is a Macintosh implementation of the ancient Egyptian sowing board game, part of the wider Mancala family of seed-and-pit games whose origins trace back roughly seven thousand years. The Mac port packages the simple but addictive two-player rules in a compact System 7 application distributed as shareware.
Gameplay
Players take turns scooping stones from one of their pits and sowing them counter-clockwise into successive pits, including their own scoring kalaha. Captures and bonus turns reward planning ahead, and the small board makes each match short enough to invite a rematch.
Requirements
The program needs a Macintosh with about 800 KB of free RAM and System 7 or later. It ships as a fat binary, so it runs natively on PowerPC machines and on suitably equipped 68k Macs.
Distribution
Kalaha was released as ten-dollar shareware by Joachim Kulla, with redistribution for profit or on CD-ROM prohibited without the author's permission.
