How To Play:

This game is played between two players, each owning 16 beads out of a total of 32. Players position their beads along the edges of the board, leaving the middle line vacant for maneuvering. The starting player is determined beforehand.

During the game, players can move their beads one step in various directions—forward, backward, right, left, and diagonally—into empty spaces. The objective is to capture the opponent's beads by jumping over them. When a player successfully crosses over an opponent's bead, that bead is removed from play. The winner is the player who captures all of the opponent's beads first.
