More about this game
Your goal is to be the first player to move all four of your pieces from the starting area to the center of the board. During your turn, you roll a die and advance a piece by that exact number of spaces. The board becomes crowded as players leave their bases, forcing you to choose between advancing your lead piece or bringing out new ones. The match ends when one player successfully navigates all four pieces into their home triangle.
Tips
- Rolling a six, capturing an opponent, or getting a piece home grants you an extra roll, so prioritize these moves.
- Do not roll three sixes in a row; doing so will immediately end your turn without letting you move, wasting a massive advantage.
- Keep your pieces on the star squares or starting squares whenever possible, as opponents cannot capture you on these safe zones.
FAQ
- How do I get a piece out of my base?
- You must roll exactly a six to move a piece from your starting area onto the active board. Rolling a six also grants you an additional roll.
- What happens when I land on another player?
- If you land on an opponent's piece on a regular square, you capture it and send it back to their base. You also earn a bonus roll.
- Can I be captured on any square?
- No, you are completely safe from capture if your piece rests on a star square or one of the designated start squares around the board.
