const array class member initialization [duplicate]

How to init constant integer array class member? I think that in same case classic array isn't best choice, what should I use instead of it?

class GameInstance{
    enum Signs{
        NUM_SIGNS = 3;
    };
    const int gameRulesTable[NUM_SIGNS][NUM_SIGNS]; //  how to init it?
public:
    explicit GameInstance():gameRulesTable(){};
};

In C++11, you could initialize const array member in an initialization list

class Widget {
public:
  Widget(): data {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} {}
private:
  const int data[5];
};

or

class Widget {
    public:
      Widget(): data ({1, 2, 3, 4, 5}) {}
    private:
      const int data[5];
    };

Make it static?

class GameInstance{
    enum Signs{
        NUM_SIGNS = 3};
    static const int gameRulesTable[2][2];
public:
    explicit GameInstance(){};
};

...in your cpp file you would add:
const int GameInstance::gameRulesTable[2][2] = {{1,2},{3,4}};
