Practice beyond the first move

What you need to achieve
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
How to proceed
- 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.
The controls to know
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.
Try this example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
Notice this detail
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
