Something to practise
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.
The objective of a round
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Try this example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
An important reminder
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
