Sholo Guti 16 Beads - A Popular Board Game in South-East Asia
Sholo Guti 16 Beads is a popular board game in South-East Asia, specifically in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arab, Indonesia, and Nepal. It is also known as Bagh-Bakri, Tiger-Goat, Tiger Trap, Baghchal, Draughts, 16 Gitti, Sixteen Soldiers, Bara Tehn, or Barah Goti game. This game is especially popular in rural areas and sometimes people even arrange tournaments for it.
The game requires extreme patience and intelligence as players have to be very tactful and move the beads carefully while playing. The game begins between two players, each with 16 beads. Two players place their sixteen beads from the edge of the board, leaving the middle line empty so that players can make their moves in the free spaces. The player who captures all the beads of their opponent first wins the game. The game involves moving beads one step forward, backward, right, left, and diagonally where there is an empty space. Each player tries to seize their opponent's beads, and if a player can cross a pawn of the other player, that bead will be deducted.
