Sure, no problem.

It is a board game where you take stones out of one pit and travel
around the board placing one stone into each pit until you have no more
stones left, then the other player gets a turn. The winner can be the
first to have no stones or the one with the most stones in their end
pit.

The way that the game is broken is that clicking on a pit doesn't move
the stones around with libforms2. You can see how it should work with
the terminal-based version named mancala or by compiling xmancala
against the old libforms1.

The Wikipedia page about the Mancala family of games should give you
more of an idea about this game:
