What you are aiming for
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Work through the instructions
- 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 to interact with the game

A useful example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
Notice this detail
