The game
What is Sholo Guti?
Sholo Guti (ষোল গুটি, “sixteen pieces”) is a two-player strategy board game loved across Bangladesh and eastern India. For generations it has been scratched into the ground or chalked on a floor and played with stones, seeds or shells.
It belongs to the Alquerque family, the old games that draughts (checkers) grew out of. The board is a 5×5 grid with diagonals and a triangle at each end: 37 points in all. Each side starts with 16 beads and the middle row empty.
Carrom Board Royale keeps the classic rules and adds what a phone can: live opponents, smart computer players, beautiful boards and rewards.
