The objective of a round
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
The playing sequence
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
See the idea in action
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
Check this before moving on
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
