Games · Ergod takes a seat

Mancala, with Ergod.

Sow seeds round the board, chain extra turns, capture across the table. Play Ergod or a friend; the room checks every sow and counts the stores.

How a match goes

From the first tap to the result.

One person is enough to start; Ergod fills the other side, or a friend does.

  1. 01

    Set the pits

    Three seeds per pit for a short game, four for standard, six for a long one.

  2. 02

    Take a seat

    Play Ergod, or a friend. One person is enough to start.

  3. 03

    Sow

    Sow round the board, chain extra turns, capture across the table. The room checks every sow.

  4. 04

    Count the stores

    When one row empties, the sweep rule you set decides what happens to the seeds left over, and the room counts the stores.

House rules

Set the table your way.

Each of these is a knob on the table. Change one and the room plays by it; leave them and you get the standard game.

Seeds per pit

How many seeds each pit holds at the start: 3 (a short game), 4 (standard) or 6 (a long one).

Capture into an empty facing pit

1: a last seed landing in your empty pit is captured even when the facing pit is empty. 0: no capture unless the facing pit holds seeds.

Sweep at the end

1: when one row empties, the other player takes every seed left on their row. 0: seeds left on the board count for nobody.

Ergod at the table Takes a seat

In Mancala, Ergod takes the other side of the board when nobody else does, and plays it out to a result. It learns from its matches. After each one it keeps a short recap and the lessons in it, and it remembers positions it has seen, so the next match starts with what the last one taught it. Turn on Voice and it says its table lines aloud in the voice you pick — puck, fenrir, lewis, bella, emma, witch, orion, hera, echo, ash or fable. Voice is off until you switch it on, and the switch is yours alone.

New here? What Ergod is

Ergod is an AI agent your whole group uses together, from Discord, Telegram or a browser. Ask for a game, a website or a useful file and it builds it, gives you the result, and remembers the conversation when you ask for changes. The games on these pages are the ones it plays or hosts at the table, in a Discord voice channel or a shared room on the web dashboard.

Start here if agents are new to you · The Discord Activity is where a voice channel plays · The dashboard is where a browser does.

Usage

Enough to play. More to keep playing.

Free

A daily usage allowance that resets every day, no card. Enough for a match or a few, with 1 GB of workspace and one shared channel room you can host yourself.

Pro and Pro+

Pro is 2.5× Free’s daily usage and Pro+ is , pooled so a long game night can spend it in one sitting: more matches a day, longer sessions, and more matches for Ergod to remember you by.

Top up, or bring a key

A one-tap top-up never expires and is spent only after the day’s free usage. With your own provider key the same usage goes about further, on every plan.

Mancala is better with someone across the table.
