A walkthrough of the rules
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Follow the example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Pay attention to this rule
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. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
