The purpose of your moves
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. 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.

Put the rules into context
