An idea for your next attempt
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your objective
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.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. A new-round button replaces the current round.
One way to understand the rules
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
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. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
