Piç → German. Piç (pronounced "pitsh") is a mancala game, which is played in Oguzkent, a village near Erzurum (Eastern Anatolia), Turkey. It was first described by Osman Sinayuç in 1974. The game appears to be related to Toguz Kumalak, the national mancala game of the Kazakhs and Kyrgyz. Both games share the following rules:
* the contents of holes which contain more than one counter are moved in the same way
* counters are captured in the same way
* opponent's holes can be conquered and turned into accumulation holes, if the last counter makes a three

Piç is a 'boardless' board game played without holes. The counters are either grains of corn or beans.
