Fill your day with fun activities to do indoors! In Brunei, a popular traditional mancala game that many play at home is congkak. Use the materials in the photo to make your own congkak board, and follow the instructions below to play the game!

1. Each player sits at opposite ends of the board and owns the row of houses in front of him/her. The storehouse on the player’s left-hand side belongs to the player.

2. Pick up all the marbles from one house and deposit one into each house in a clockwise direction. Drop a marble into your storehouse each time you pass it but not into your opponent’s.

3. If you deposit your last marble into your storehouse, take another turn.

4. If you deposit your last marble into your opponent’s empty house, your turn ends.

5. If your last marble is deposited into an empty house on your side of the board, collect all the marbles opposite that house and add them to your storehouse.

6. The game ends when all houses on the board are empty. The player with the most marbles in his/her storehouse is the winner!
