If you want to play it the way mentioned above, you'll need to set it up as if you had the same board with the same layout, that is, you'll just need to remove the extra stones, play as if there are only 6 holes in the center, and make the end holes are connected play as if column 1 holes 'connected' as one mancala, and as if column 8 holes are connected as the other mancala.
Question 3 years ago on Step 2. Say i have like 15 stones in one hole. When I make the full rotation back to the hole that originally had the 15 stones, do I skip that hole or place one in there? Answer 3 years ago. Normally, and the way I've always played, is that you don't have to skip the original hole that you played stones from. I prefer this method as it makes things less confusing, and I don't see any good reason to skip the original hole other than it slightly changes the strategy.
But I've heard there is a variation where that is an official rule. So, it's up to you if you want to include that rule or not. Tip 3 years ago on Step 2. In Step 2 of basic gameplay, I'd say the wording that a player 'may' put the stones in opponent's side's holes and in your own mancala is misleading. Once you pick a hole on your side to play from, you must take all those stones into hand, then place each stone in each subsequent hole until you run out but the only exception is your opponent's mancala.
Then, your turn is over unless as mentioned in the extras your last stone ended in your mancala, in which case you get to take an extra turn. I know there are variations which exist, but even if this is an official variation, I say from a strategy standpoint that this should be required, else it'd be way too easy to loop around back to your side and capture stones from your opponent by landing on an empty hole with your last stone.
The one we play came with these instructions, basically play clockwise, everything else the same as you mentioned. Makes for a much different game play and strategy.
