Today I am standing in front of all of you not to present about this mancala family but  to inform about the rules of playing congkak. There are four important rules in playing congkak.so st straight, buckle up and enjoy my presentation.

Usually the Congkak board has fourteen holes in two sets of seven plus an additional bigger store-holes for each player where means that have two bigger holes. 

A total of 98 pieces are used in the two sets of seven board version. In Southeast Asia, cowrie shells and tamarind seeds are the most common. But now people better use marbles while playing congkak.Seven seeds are placed in each hole except for the players' store. The objective of the game is to capture more seeds than one's opponent

thre are the five steps in playing congkak :

FIRST

Players take turns moving the seeds except in the first move which is performed simultaneously, beginning with the hole closest to his/her own store. After this first simultaneous movement, once the last seed falls into an empty hole, the players' first turn is over and the opponent of the player who reached an empty hole first commences his/her turn after the other player has finished his opening move too.

SECOND

On a turn, a player chooses one of the seven holes under their control. The player removes all seeds from this hole, and distributes them in each hole clockwise. It is called as sowing.  Sowing skips an opponent's store, but does not skip a player's own store.

THIRD

If a player is unable to fill a hole with seven seeds that hole is considered sunog (burnt) or means that all excess seeds are returned to the store. The round begins with the player with no sunog holes taking his/her turn sowing first. If the last seed falls into an occupied hole, all the seeds are removed from that hole, and are sown starting from that hole. The process continues until the last seed falls into a player's store, or an empty hole.

FOURTH

The game ends, when a player has no seeds in his holes at the start of his turn. The remaining seeds are awarded to his opponent.

In conclusion even though nowadays we are exposing with many games existing technologies, we must remember that even once we forget the old or traditional games. There are prove the culture and historical of the Malaysians in Asians.

that's all thank you.
