The objective of a round
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
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.
How to interact with the game
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Try this example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
