Bring this focus to a round
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.
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. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
How to proceed
- 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 use the controls
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. Look at the feedback after the action.
See how the rules apply
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.
Check this before moving on
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
