Four players, four pieces each, one die. A 6 releases a piece from base onto your start square; pieces travel in one direction around a shared ring of 68 squares, then up your private 7-square home column, and must land on the centre exactly. The first player to bring all four pieces home wins.
Numbers straight from the game engine:
| Part | Squares |
|---|---|
| Shared ring | 68 |
| Home column per player | 7 |
| A piece's full journey, start to centre | 75 |
| Safe squares on the ring | 8 |
Four players, each with four pieces in their own colour; everyone plays for themselves until one wins.
A shared ring of 68 squares plus a private 7-square home column per player — 75 steps from a piece's start square to the centre.
Eight squares on the ring: the four start squares and the four arm corners. No captures happen on safe squares.
Release a piece from base onto your start square or move a piece six squares — then roll again in the same turn.
Land on an ordinary (non-safe) square holding a single enemy piece; the captured piece goes back to its base and starts over.
Yes — overshooting the centre is not allowed; a roll bigger than the remaining distance is simply unusable until the right number comes up.
When the first player gets all four pieces to the centre. Abnormally long matches are decided by overall piece progress as a safeguard.
