4 Bead (4 Teni/Sholo Guti/4 Da

The 4 Bead game, also known as 4 Teni, Sholo Guti, or 4 Daane, is an engaging strategy game that pits two players against each other in a battle of wits and tactics. Each player starts with 4 beads, and the objective is to outmaneuver your opponent and be the last one standing with any beads left on the board.

The game begins once both players have registered, with the first player taking the initial move. The gameplay alternates between the two players, with each turn presenting a chance to strategically position or protect their beads. The first player must select a bead and move it to the nearest available spot, setting the stage for the ensuing moves.

Players have two primary ways to move their beads:

1. By moving to the nearest spot: This method allows players to safely reposition their beads, potentially avoiding capture by the opponent. It's crucial to note that players can only move to the nearest spot once per turn.
2. By crossing an opponent's bead: If a player's nearest move involves crossing an opponent's bead and the destination is empty, they can execute this move. This action can be repeated multiple times within a single turn, offering a chance to capture multiple opponent beads. After crossing, the player must either click the PASS button or select another bead to move, signaling the end of their turn.

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 victor. This simple yet strategic game requires careful planning and anticipation of the opponent's moves to secure a win.
