The objective of a round
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Making your moves
- 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Work through an example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
