About this game

Tchuka Ruma is a traditional Indonesian solitaire board game played
across five holes and a home pit called the Ruma.

Pick a hole, sow its seeds one by one, and watch the chain reactions
unfold. Land in the Ruma and you earn a free turn. Land in an empty
hole and your turn ends. Win by getting every last seed into the Ruma
— easier said than done.

─── HOW TO PLAY ───────────────────────────────

• Tap any hole with seeds to sow them counterclockwise
• Landing in the Ruma gives you another turn
• Landing in a non-empty hole continues the chain automatically
• Landing in an empty hole ends your turn
• You win only when the Ruma holds all the seeds and every other
hole is empty

No timers. No lives on free play. Just you and the board.

─── FEATURES ──────────────────────────────────

you can measure and share your score
• Offline play — no internet required to play
• Saves your game automatically — pick up exactly where you left off
• Traditional batik-inspired visual theme
