Mancala by Todd Glenn Clements, Kalaha.

First, do not confuse this game with MacStones. MacStones is a slightly simplified port or remake of SameGame, Stones is one of the innumerable variants of the ancient game Mancala.

Stones uses a slightly different Mancala ruleset, where your turn goes on as long as the last stone lands in a pile that is not empty. This ruleset isn't all that great when playing against the computer, because the computer will always be better at thinking that far ahead.

In 1997, Nathaniel Tagg re-released the game as Stones II with new graphics and improved AI.
