Twelve beads each. One board. No luck.

The twelve-bead board game played across Pakistan for generations, now on your phone — with a real ranking ladder, live matches against real people, and voice and video while you play.

A real opening — watch it play.

Every bead is worth something

Nineteen points, sitting on the board from the first move

Two Tigers at 3 points, three Bears at 2, seven Wolves at 1. Capture your opponent's beads by jumping them, protect your own, and the score tells you exactly where you stand while you play.

  • Ten minutes on a shared clock. One minute free per move.
  • Going over does not lose you the turn — it costs one point per further minute.
  • No draw. When the clock stops the board decides: more surviving points, then more beads, then the last capture.

What is in it

A board game with a league around it

Play someone real

Matched in seconds

Tap Online Match and you are paired with a player near your ranking. Or search anyone by name or by their player number and challenge them directly.

Talk while you play

Chat, voice, video

Chat is open to everyone. The microphone unlocks in the top 500 or in any tournament round. The camera unlocks in the top 100 — and inside a tournament, from the quarter-final onward. Both stay off until you switch them on.

Tournaments

Nobody goes out on a bye

Enter a bracket, pay in coins, play to the final. Rounds start at an announced time so you know when to come back — and an odd round revives the eliminated player with the highest score instead of handing anyone a free pass.

Practice

Never ranked, never recorded

Play the computer at Easy, Medium or Hard, or pass one phone between two people. Practice is saved nowhere at all — warm up as much as you like.

Watch

Anyone can watch a live match

See the board move in real time, send emoji, gift coins to a side, and hear an appointed commentator. A watcher can never touch the game.

Built to be fair

Every match is replayed on our servers

Your ranking is written there and never by the app on your phone, so a modified build cannot award itself a single point.

What you should know about coins

Coins are virtual. They buy tournament entry and gifts to other players, and nothing else. They do not convert to money, and there is no cash prize — not now and not later.

You need an internet connection for online matches. Practice works offline. Free to play — coins can also be bought or earned by watching an ad, never required.
