12BT, also known as 12 Tehni, is a captivating two-player board game reminiscent of chess. Each player commands 12 pieces (pawns, beads, or guti). Movement involves two key strategies: 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 your opponent's pieces.

This game shares similarities with other classic strategy games such as Draughts (checkers, dame), the Arabic game Quirkat (al-qirq, Alquerque - القرقات‎), Halma, Chinese Checkers, and Konane. While the board setup differs slightly between these games, the core gameplay mechanics show strong parallels. For instance, Alquerque's board and initial setup closely resemble 12BT.
