One thing to notice as you play
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.
The purpose of your moves
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.
The order of play
- 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.

A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
Check this before moving on
