DAKON

Dakon rulesby Jordi Climent [CAT] [ESP]

Dakon is one of the Southeast Asian mancala games. It is also known as Dhakon or Dhakonan.
It is played in Java on 2×5, 2×6, 2×7, 2×8, 2×9 and 2×10 wooden boards with one store at each end of the board. Dakon is played with the number of seeds in each hole at the start of play being the same as the number of holes in a row on the board. That is, 5 seeds in each hole in a 2×5 board, 6 seeds in each hole in a 2×6 board, 7 seeds in each hole in a 2×7 board and so on. Store holes are left empty at the start of play. Pieces for play are usually small cowries. It is similar to other games of holes and seeds from Asia as Sungka or Congklak.
