Aim for this result
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
The order of play
- 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. A new-round button replaces the current round.
An example to follow
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.
A common point of confusion
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
