Take a closer look while playing
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Put the rules into context
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Keep this in mind
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
