Mangala is a desktop game played by two players. Each player has 6 wells and 1 treasure. Both players put 4 stones into their 6 wells at the beginning of the game. The first player selects one of the wells on its side and moves the stones in the counterclockwise direction, leaving one by one in the next wells. If the last stone that is distributed falls into the treasure, the sequence remains in the same player, and if a player has one stone in one of the wells, he can move the stone to the right. After the player puts stones on his treasure, he still puts stones on the opponents territory if he still has stones left. If the last stone makes a double in the opponents area (2,4,6,8), he takes all the stones in the well. If the player coincides with the final stone in an empty well in his region, he also takes the stones in the well in the opposite region to his own stone and puts them in the treasure. The game ends when a player has finished the stones in his area. The player who finishes the stones in his area also puts all the pieces in the opponents area into his treasure. The game ends in this game and the stones are counted. The game continues for 5 laps. At the end of 5 rounds, the player with the most points wins.
