A walkthrough of the rules

- 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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
