Aim for this result
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Work through an example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
