4 Bead (4 Teni/Sholo Guti/4 Da

The 4 Bead game, also known as 4 Teni, Sholo Guti, or 4 Daane, is a strategic game enjoyed by two players. Each participant starts with 4 beads, which they must protect from their opponent. The game commences automatically once both players have registered. The first player takes the initial move, followed by the second player, alternating turns throughout the game.

At the start of the game, the first player must select one of their beads and move it to the nearest available spot. Players have two distinct methods to maneuver their beads:

1. By moving to the nearest spot: This method allows players to strategically position their beads to avoid capture by the opponent. It's important 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 over an opponent's bead and the destination spot is empty, they can execute this move. After successfully crossing an opponent's bead, the player must conclude their turn by either clicking the PASS button or by selecting another bead to move, if available.

A key aspect of this game is that players are allowed to cross multiple beads of their opponent in a single turn, providing an opportunity to strategically diminish the opponent's resources.

The game's outcome is determined by which player loses all their beads first. For example, if Player 1 loses all their beads before Player 2, then Player 2 is declared the winner. This game tests players' strategic thinking and tactical execution, making it a thrilling challenge for all who play.
