A small practice goal
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The purpose of your moves
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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.
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. Look at the feedback after the action.
See how the rules apply
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
An important reminder
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. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
