Bring this focus to a round
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.
The objective of a round
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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 interact with the game
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. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Learn from a sample situation
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Check this before moving on
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
