4 Bead Game (also known as 4 Teni, Sholo Guti, or 4 Daane)

4 Bead Game (referred to as 4 Teni, Sholo Guti, or 4 Daane)

This game is played by two participants. Each player controls four beads and must protect them from being captured by their opponent. The first player takes a turn, while the second player waits. Once both players are registered, the game begins automatically. The first player must then move one of their beads to the nearest available point, but they must first select which bead to move.

Players can move their beads in two different ways, as described below.

1. By moving to the nearest adjacent position.

2. By jumping over an opponent's bead.

The first method allows players to keep their beads safe from being captured.

Note: In each turn, a player may only move one bead to an adjacent vacant position once.

The second method allows a player to leap over an opponent's bead, provided the space beyond it is empty. After making a capture, the player must end their turn by clicking the PASS button or by selecting the bead that was just moved.

Note: It is possible to jump over multiple opponent beads during a single turn.

The outcome is determined by which player loses all four beads first. For example, if the first player loses all their beads, the second player is declared the winner.
