Take a closer look while playing
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.
Your objective
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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.
Choosing and moving on screen
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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
See the idea in action
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.
A common point of confusion
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. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
