Something to practise
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.
What counts as success
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.
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 your actions work
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
An example before you play
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
An important reminder
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
