An idea for your next attempt
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Keep the objective visible.
Understand the aim
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Making your moves
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Put the rules into context
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
