Aim for this result
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
The order of play
- Roll six to leave the yard.
- Move an eligible token by the die value; home requires an exact roll.
- Capture opponents on non-safe squares.
- Six, capture and finishing a token grant another roll; a third consecutive six forfeits that roll.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Put the rules into context
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Where a round can go wrong
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
