In the game of Mancala, players are typically not allowed to count pebbles out loud while making their moves, as this can slow down the game and give an unfair advantage. Players are expected to keep track of the pebbles in their minds to maintain the game's pace. However, players can visually assess the board and strategize based on the arrangement of pebbles without explicitly counting them.

How do you play Mancala?

Mancala has a number of variations in which "seeds" or stones are placed in or removed from a wooden playing dish. Two versions popular in the West are Kalah and Oware (the national game of Ghana).On the game site Poptropica, mancala is a variation of Kalah, played using a tray with 2 large "player pits" on either side and 12 smaller pits arranged in two rows. At the start of the game, there are 3 pebbles in each of the 12 small pits. Players take turns moving the pebbles from pit to pit, moving clockwise. A pit is chosen on the player's side, and emptied of pebbles by leaving 1 in each pit as they move. If the last pebble lands in the player's own pit, he gets another turn. If the last pebble lands in an empty pit on that player's side, it and the pebbles from the corresponding opponent's pit are scored to the moving player's pit. When either side is empty, all pebbles remaining are go to the player on whose side they remained. The player with the most pebbles wins.(see the related link for variations)(see the related Poptropica question)
