The 4 Bead (4 Teni/Sholo Guti/4 Daane) Game is an engaging strategy game designed for two players, each equipped with four beads. The objective is to protect your beads from being captured by the opponent while trying to capture all of their beads. Once both players are registered, the game commences automatically, with the first player taking the initial turn, followed by the second player.
During each turn, players can move their beads in one of two ways:
1. **Moving to the Nearest Position:** Players can move a bead to the nearest available spot. This move is primarily used for positioning and safeguarding beads from the opponent. It's important to note that players can only make this move once per turn.
2. **Crossing an Opponent's Bead:** If a player's nearest bead is an opponent's bead, and the position beyond it is empty, the player can cross over the opponent's bead to the empty spot. This action captures the opponent's bead, removing it from play. Players have the option to cross multiple beads in a single turn if the conditions are met. After making a crossing move, players must end their turn by either clicking the "PASS" button or selecting the bead they moved after crossing.
The game's outcome hinges on which player loses all their beads first. For example, if Player One loses all their beads before Player Two, then Player Two emerges as the winner.
This game tests players' strategic thinking and planning, making it a fun and challenging pastime for enthusiasts of tactical board games.
