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.
Choosing and moving on screen
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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
One way to understand the rules
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 game’s format in mind.
A mistake to avoid
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
