12BT, Bead 12, 12 Tehni

12BT, also known as 12 Tehni, is a captivating two-player board game reminiscent of chess. Each player commands 12 pawns (referred to as beads, tehnies, or gutis). A pawn can move to an empty adjacent space, or, strategically, capture an opponent's pawn by jumping over it. Victory is achieved by capturing all 12 of the opponent's pawns.

This game shares similarities with other classic strategy games like Draughts (checkers), Dame, Damas, and the Arabic game Quirkat (Al-qirq or Alquerque – القرقات‎). While the board setup varies slightly between these games (e.g., Draughts), the core gameplay mechanics are comparable. Other related games include Halma, Chinese Checkers, and Konane. Alquerque, in particular, boasts a similar board and setup to 12BT.
