The goal to keep in mind
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Look at the feedback after the action.
An example to follow
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
Pay attention to this rule
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
