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. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Where a round can go wrong
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
