Your goal
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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.
Keyboard and screen 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.
Learn from a sample situation
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Notice this detail
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
