squares with a star on them are protected.the starting square is protected (for both your own color and other colors you land on).Men can be knocked off the board & sent back home if they are landed on with the following exceptions: You are better off spending your moves moving your other men around the board rather than bringing the 'almost home' men a little bit closer, because if you over-roll the amount needed to go home you can't move the men in the colored area on those rolls. When you get men into the final colored area you can leave them in position anywhere in there until you roll a roll which brings them to the final home position. Try to have at least 2 men on the board at any time so that you are not forced to make an inopportune play with one of them. Much of this game comes down to luck, but there are a few things you can do to try to do better than random luck. Whenever you roll the board will highlight the placements your men can move & you can click on which of the men you want to move. If someone else lands on your men they knock you off the board and back to the starting position. Whenever you roll a six you also get an extra roll of the dice.Įach player has 4 men which they must move a total of 56 spaces each. You can use the six to remove a man from the starting position, or move one of your exiting pieces 6 places on the board. To get a man out of the starting position players must roll a six.
