What the game asks you to do
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
How to use the controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Follow the example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
One detail worth checking
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
