Keyboard and screen controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.
Work through an example
From square 98, rolling 2 wins. Rolling 3 overshoots and leaves the token at 98. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
A roll of six does not grant an extra turn in this version. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
