The challenge in front of you
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Try this example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
Notice this detail
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
