Application Description

12BT, also known as 12 Tehni, is a captivating two-player board game reminiscent of chess. Each player commands 12 pieces, strategically maneuvering them across the board. Movement involves two key possibilities: a piece can move to an empty adjacent space if all surrounding spaces are vacant, or it can capture an opponent's piece by jumping over it. Victory is achieved by capturing all 12 of the opponent's pieces.

This game shares similarities with various other classic board games, including Draughts (also known as Checkers, Dame, Damas), the Arabic game Quirkat (Al-qirq, Alquerque – القرقات‎), Halma, Chinese Checkers, and Konane. While the board setup differs slightly between these games, the strategic principles are comparable; familiarity with Draughts or Checkers provides a solid foundation for mastering 12BT and similar games. Alquerque, in particular, boasts a similar board and setup to 12BT.
