1. Pat Gonu is played on a board with 2 perpendicular lines on either side of a circle. The circle has 5 marked circles and the two lines each have 3 circles. Lines indicate permitted moves

2. Each player selects 3 circles of the BEADs the colour of their choice

3. BEADS are placed on the line closest to the player.

4. Players decide who begins by rolling a die.

Players take turns in moving 1 of their BEADs into an open circle along the lines marked on the board.
