%N Consider the generalized Mancala solitaire (A002491); to get n-th term, start with n and successively round up to next k multiples of n-1, n-2, ..., 1, for n>=1. Now construct the array, t, such that t(n,k) is the n-th and successively rounding up to the next k multiples. This sequence is the determinant of that array.
%t f[n_, k_] := Fold[ #2*Ceiling[ #1/#2 + k] &, n, Reverse@Range[n - 1]]; Table[Det[Table[f[i, j], {i, 2, n}, {j, 0, n - 2}]], {n, 2, 21}]
