Your objective

Work through the instructions

- 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.

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.
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. Check the stated objective.
An important reminder
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
