This digital version is implemented using C++ and SFML, showcasing a blend of traditional gameplay with modern technology.

Number of Players: 2 Materials: A board of 12 Beads, totaling 24 beads (12 for each player) Type of Game: Strategy Board Game Audience: Suitable for all ages Technologies Used: C++, SFML, Visual Studio
The game board is a square-shaped layout with 16 mini boxes and a large diamond crossing. Each player has 12 beads in their chosen color. The board setup is intuitive, with beads placed on specific positions as the game progresses.
Players take turns moving their beads, aiming to eliminate their opponent's beads by strategic placement and movement. The game begins with a coin toss to decide the first move. Beads are moved along the positions on the board, following vertical or horizontal lines. Elimination occurs when a player jumps over an opponent's bead to an empty position.
