One thing to notice as you play
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 challenge in front of you
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
The playing sequence
- 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 your actions work
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. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
A mistake to avoid
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
