4 Bead (4 Teni/Sholo Guti/4 Da
Four Bead Game (Four Stones/Four Pieces)
This two-player game involves each player starting with four beads. The objective is to protect your beads from capture by your opponent. Players take turns, and the game begins automatically once both players join. On a player's turn, they must first select a bead and then move it.
Bead movement is governed by two rules:
-
Moving the Nearest Bead: A player can move their closest bead to an available adjacent space. This is a defensive move, protecting the bead from capture. A player can only move one bead in this manner per turn.
-
Crossing an Opponent's Bead: If a player's nearest bead is an opponent's bead, and a space beyond the opponent's bead is empty, the player may jump over the opponent's bead to that empty space. The opponent's bead is then removed from the game. A player can perform multiple jumps in a single turn. After a jump, the player must end their turn by clicking the "PASS" button or selecting a different bead.
The game concludes when one player loses all four of their beads. The player with remaining beads wins.
