-!!! Reaping   
-   
-Reaping, a one-rank Mancala, was invented in 1996 by the American computer scientist [Jeff Erickson | http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/~jeffe]. The game features [reverse sowing | http://www.manqala .org/wiki/index.php/MancalaGames/ReverseMancala], which is quite unusual. Reaping is actually reverse [MancalaGames/Sowing] !

-!!Rules   
-   
-*Jeff didn’t suggest a particular position to start a game. So you can experiment with any set-up you like.   
-   
-$$ 0 1 0 2 2 0 3 3 3 0 2 2 0 1    
-$$ T Possible Initial Position   
-   
-*Players are called Left and Right as usual in Combinatorial Game Theory.   
-   
-*Left starts.   
-   
-*Each turn a player picks up one seed from each of a successive string of pots and drops them into the first available empty pot. The first pot must contain at least two seeds. This is called "reaping" and is the reverse of "sowing".   
-   
-* Left is reaping from left to right, while his opponent is playing into the opposite direction.   
-   
-*Passing is not permitted.   
-   
-*The last player who can make a legal move wins the game. Draws are not possible.
