Bring this focus to a round
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
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. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Making selections and moves
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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
See how the rules apply
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
A mistake to avoid
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
