Application Description

12BT, or 12 Tehni, is a strategic two-player board game.

12BT (a traditional game) is a chess-like game for two players. In this game, each player starts with 12 pawns. When moving a bead (also called Tehni or Guti), a player has two options. Firstly, if all adjacent positions around a bead are empty, the bead can be moved to any vacant spot. Alternatively, if a player can jump over an opponent's bead, that opponent's bead is captured. The winner is the first player to capture all 12 of their opponent's beads.

It is similar to Draughts or Checkers (also known as Dame or Damas). An Arabic game called Quirkat or Alquerque (القرقات‎) also shares similarities with 12 Biti. Games like Alquerque, Quirkat, Halma, Chinese Checkers, and Konane are of a similar type. Alquerque's board and setup are particularly similar to the Bara Biti game. While the board setup for Draughts or Checkers is different, anyone familiar with those games can easily learn to play Quirkat, Alquerque, and this game.
