A walkthrough of the rules

- Capture opponents on non-safe squares.
- Six, capture and finishing a token grant another roll; a third consecutive six forfeits that roll.

See how the rules apply
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
