First-round orientation
Before playing, identify the objective and the input controls. Use your first round to learn what changes after a valid action.
Your goal
Bring all four tokens home before the other players.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback.
A useful example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three.
Watch out for this
