Sholo Guti: Bead 16 Char Goti

About Sholo Guti: Bead 16 Char Goti

Sholo Guti (Bead 16) is the classic two-player abstract strategy board game of Bengal, now on your phone. Line up your sixteen soldiers — your sixteen beads — and outsmart your opponent as players hop over one another and capture pieces one by one. Capture your rival's beads sixteen times over and the board is yours.

You may know this old folk pastime by many names: Sholo 16 Guti, Guti Bead 16, Bead 16 Guti, or simply 16 Guti Bead. Some call it 16 Goti, Char Goti, Guti Sholo, or 16 Kaati. Whatever you call it, this is the same beloved 16 Goti board game, a classic Bengali strategy pastime with roots in rural Bengal that families have loved for centuries.

Three timeless Bengali board classics come in one polished download — three classics, one app:

Sholo Guti (Bead 16 / 16 board) — the original 16-bead capture classic played with sixteen pieces per side, the most famous and popular Guti game across Bangladesh and South Asia. Played on the classic Bead 16 board, line up like 16 beads on a star grid and plan every 16 Goti move.

Baro Guti (Bead 12 / 12 Guti) — a faster 12-bead variant on a smaller grid with the same deep Guti strategy and quick jump captures.

Baagh Chal (also spelled Bagh Chal / Bagchal) — the Nepali variant, a tiger-and-goat board game where the tigers hunt the goats while the goats trap the tigers. Every tiger move matters in this pure asymmetric strategy duel.

If you love board games, Bead 16 Guti rewards clever play the way chess, draughts, and Indian checkers do. Fans of tactical board games — Bead 16 and its cousins — will feel right at home, because the rules are simple and the play runs deep. These are public domain folk pastimes, part of childhood across South Asia, brought back to life for a new generation discovering Sholo Guti for the first time.
