4 nasiona zostały posadzone w domkach. Gracze przenoszą nasiona w rundach. W każdej z rund gracz wybiera jeden z 6 domów którymi zarządza. Wyjmuje wszystkie nasiona ze swojego domku i zaczynając od domku obok wrzuca po jednym do kolejnych domków w kierunku przeciwnym do wskazówek zegara. Proces ten nazywamy sadzeniem. Nasion nie wolno wrzucać do ostatnich domów ani do domu z którego wyjęło się kamienie. That is, the starting house is left empty; if it contained 12 seeds, it is skipped, and the twelfth seed is placed in the next house. After a turn, if the last seed was placed into an opponent's house and brought its total to two or three, all the seeds in that house are captured and placed in the player's scoring house (or set aside if the board has no scoring houses). If the previous-to-last seed also brought the total seeds in an opponent's house to two or three, these are captured as well, and so on. However, if a move would capture all an opponent's seeds, the capture is forfeited, and the seeds are instead left on the board, since this would prevent the opponent from continuing the game. The proscription against capturing all an opponent's seeds is related to a more general idea, that one ought to make a move that allows the opponent to continue playing. If an opponent's houses are all empty, the current player must make a move that gives the opponent seeds. If no such move is possible, the current player captures all seeds in his/her own territory, ending the game. (Source Wikipedia
