Build familiarity through play
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.
What you are aiming for
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.
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.
Input guidance
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. A new-round button replaces the current round.
An example before you play
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.
An important reminder
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
