Application Description

12BT, also known as 12 Tehni, is an engaging two-player board game that draws parallels to classic games like chess, Draughts, and checkers, also known as dame, dames, or damas. This traditional game, which is also referred to as Bead 12, Sholo Guti, or 12 Tehni, features each player starting with 12 pawns, known as beads, Tehnis, or Gutis. The gameplay revolves around strategic movement and capture. A player can move their bead if all adjacent positions are empty, or they can jump over an opponent's bead, capturing it in the process. The ultimate goal is to capture all 12 of the opponent's beads, securing victory.

12BT shares similarities with other games like the Arabic game Quirkat or Alquerque (القرقات‎), as well as Halma, Chinese Checkers, and Konane. The board and setup of Alquerque (القرقات‎) are particularly akin to the Bara Biti game. While the board setup of Draughts or checkers differs, the fundamental mechanics are comparable, allowing players familiar with Draughts or checkers to easily adapt to Quirkat, Alquerque (القرقات‎), and 12BT.
