There are a number of variations in the rules as to how to play Sungka,
This is my favorite:

Sungka Rules (pronounced SOONG-kah)

Sungka is played on a solid wooden block with two rows 7 circular holes and two large holes called “Heads” at both ends.
Begin with 49 game pieces (shells, marbles, pebbles or seeds) 7 pieces in every other hole - except "heads" which remain empty. Sungka requires two players. Each player controls the 7 holes on his side of the board and owns the "head" to his right. The goal is to get as many pieces in your own "head".
Player 1 removes all pieces from the hole on the left on his side. He then puts one in each hole to the right of that hole, omitting an opponent's "head" but not a player's own "head".
If the last piece falls into an occupied hole then all the pieces are removed from that hole, and are distributed in the same way (to the right of that hole) in another round. This player's (current) turn ends when the last piece falls into an empty hole on the opponent's side.
If the last piece distributed falls into a player's own "head" then ...
the player earns another turn, which can begin at any of the seven holes on his side.
If the last piece distributed falls into an empty top hole on his side then ...
the player captures all the pieces in the hole directly across from this one, on the opponent's side and puts them (plus the last piece distributed) in his own "head". If the opposing hole is empty, no pieces are captured.
The other player chooses which hole he wishes to start from, removes the pieces and distributes them - one in each hole to the right of that chosen hole. If a player has no pieces on his side of the board when it is his turn, then he must pass.

The game ends when no pieces are left in any hole on both sides of the board. The players count the number of pieces in their own "head" and whoever more has won the game.
This game (with variations) is also played in other Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia where it is known as "Congkak”.

Have Fun!
