Give this approach a try
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.
The purpose of your moves
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Input guidance
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.
Learn from a sample situation
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
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. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
