Watch “Pretwa - a 2-player strategy game from India sometimes called "Checkers on a wheel.",” a how-to-play guide for Pretwa on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:

India is the birthplace of many of the most popular table-top games in all of history. This is another one from the northeast section of the country. It's a jump-and-capture board game with some very interesting chain-reaction moves. "Checkers on a Wheel" is actually a pretty good description of the game play, but the unusual connections between the spaces result in some very unique move patterns. A fun variation in the jump-and-capture genre. It's available from NewVenture Games as part of the Peg Pastimes series distributed by Red Hen Toys. https://newventuregames.com/products/pretwa/ https://www.NewVentureGames.com https://Facebook.com/NewVentureGames See it on BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18010/pretwa

About Pretwa, from BoardGameGeek:

A traditional game from Bihar, India. It's played on a circular grid; players may move along the circles or along the lines connecting them. Opposing pieces may be captured by jumping them, and multiple captures may be made on a turn, even in different directions. Capturing is compulsory but a player does not have to maximize their captures.
