Your inputs
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Follow the example
When only one die can be used and either is individually playable, use the larger die. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
