The other player chooses which hole the person wishes to start from, removes the pieces and sows them-one in each hole, clockwise from that chosen hole.If a player has no pieces on the person's side of the board when it is the person's turn, then he must pass. The game ends when no pieces are left in any hole on both sides of the board. The players now count the number of pieces in their own "home" and see who has won.
