Aim for this result
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Work through the instructions
- 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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
An example to follow
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
Pay attention to this rule
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
