Pallangkuzhi by Dolga
In development
The Tamil mancala, the way it was played: fourteen pits in a carved board, six seeds a pit, and a round that turns on one empty cup.
Coming soon — in development now
Only from Dolga
Fourteen pits, carved in teak. Rules kept the old way.
Mancala on a phone is usually a flat diagram with counters that teleport. Pallangkuzhi is a carved teak board in true 3D, seeds lifted and sown one by one around the pits — and the game underneath is the real one: relay sowing, the empty-cup capture, and pasu, the capture that lands when a pit holds exactly four.

About
Lift a pit and sow its seeds one by one around the board. Where the last seed falls, the next pit’s seeds are lifted and the sowing runs on — and when a sowing ends in an empty pit, the pit beyond it is captured into your store. Four seeds resting in a pit — pasu — are captured on the spot.
A quick match is one round against the AI, a few minutes long: the round ends when a side is emptied, and the seeds left on the board go to the other player. Your store is your score; your best winning margin is kept.
Paid once. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions.
