1. Queah is played on a board comprised of 13 diamonds that are diagonal to each other.

2. Each player selects 10 BEADs the colour of their choice.

3. 4 BEADs are placed by each player on the board, 3 BEADs on diamonds closest to the player and 1 BEAD on the first diamond on the players right on second row.

4. The remaining 6 BEADs start off the board.

5. Players decide who begins the game by rolling a die.

1. In turns, each player moves 1 BEAD diagonally to an adjacent empty diamond.

2. Players capture BEADs by jumping over an opponent’s BEAD and landing on an empty space beyond along the diagonal axis of the board.

3. If available, a capture must be made.

4. Only 1 capture can be made per turn.

5. Captured BEADs are removed from the board.

6. The player whose BEAD was captured must, at the start of their turn, take one of their BEADs not yet on the board and place it anywhere.

7. Until a player has had 6 BEADs captured, a player should always have 4 BEADs on the board.

To win the game, a player needs to capture all their opponent's BEADs.

1. The official name for this game is unknown, as it was not noted when the game was first written down. The game was first recorded in 1882, its players being members of the Queah tribe in Liberia.

2. The traditional board is made from a lattice of twigs, and sticks make the pieces. The tops of the sticks are cut slanted on one side, and called "men", while the other side's sticks are cut straight and called "women".
