The Daily Mancala challenge for September 24, 2026: same opponent, same starting side, for every player in the world.
Thursday keeps the tactical pressure on — watch which pits you leave loaded.
Puzzle #55 of the daily run falls on September 24, 2026. The configuration is fixed by the date itself, so replays and rebuilds never change it.
Your opponent takes the opening turn on this date. On this 48-stone deal, exactly one of the six opening sows (pit 3) lands its last stone in the store for a free extra turn, and none of them exposes an immediate capture in reply, so the first exchange is about tempo rather than traps.
The medium engine takes obvious captures and chains extra turns, so count stones before leaving a pit on one.
