Mancala Game

This is an ancient turn-based strategy board game implemented with Spring Boot and Thymeleaf. I tried to follow Hexagonal architecture during development and developed with TDD.

Terminology and Rules

GAME has 2 players and each of them have 6 small pits and 1 big pit on the board. Game starts with 6 stones on each of the small pits. We know a game is over when one of the players empties all stones in their small pits.

Playing the Game
