Mancala and Puffle Roundup

Mancala

Where to find it:
In the Book Room on top of the Coffee Shop.

Object of game:
Each player attempts to collect as many stones as possible before one of the players clears his or her side of stones.

Each player has a side of the board (top and bottom). The six holes nearest each player belong to him or her and their large holes, or “Mancala”, is to the right.

How to play:
Players alternate turns. In his or her turn, each player selects a group of stones from one hole on his or her side of the board. Each stone is dropped one by one in the holes around the board, including his Mancala, but not the opponent’s Mancala.

Free turns:
If the last stone lands in the players’ own Mancala, that player gets another turn.

Captures:
If the last stone is dropped in an empty hole on the players’ own side, he captures all the stones from the opponents hole directly opposite that hole, including his stone.

How to win:
The game is over when a player has no more stones on his or her side of the board. The winner is the player with the greatest total of stones in his or her Mancala and any remaining stones on his or her side of the board.

Puffle Roundup

Where to find it:
In the Pet Shop (which is in the Plaza); click on the door marked ”Employees”.

Object of game:
To catch the puffles before they run away!

How to play:
Move your mouse around, ”herding” as many puffles as you can into the brown pen. The round ends when all of the puffles have either been captured or have run away.

Your score will be based on the number of puffles you can catch within the shortest amount of time.

Until Then..Wadle On!!
