Best Answer

At the Mountains of the Moon on Nabooti Island, you must beat the old man at the game of mancala. The game plays just well enough to beat you if you make random moves. There are three rules that allow you to easily win :

- Each move goes counter-clockwise, leaving one pebble in each pit along the way

- Ending in your own large pit (right side) gives you another move

- Ending in an EMPTY pit gives you that pebble, plus any in the pit across from it. Your first move on each turn should be one that ends in your right side pit (you get an extra turn), followed by clearing to the right, or grabbing a pile of pebbles from the far side.

*SAMPLE GAME* which may work for you : With your side of the board numbered left to right, #1 to #6, play the following (multiple moves in brackets) : [4 then 5][3 then 6][5][4][2,6,5,6,1][1][3] - the game will play this losing variation about 40% of the time.
