02 // STEPS
Step by step
- 01
Choose colours
Red, green, yellow and blue start in their corner bases. Seats can be people or computer players, online or on one device.
- 02
Roll a 6 to come out
A token can only leave base onto your start square with a 6. If you have no legal move, the turn passes.
- 03
Race clockwise
Move one token by the number rolled. After almost a full lap, a token turns into your coloured home column.
- 04
Capture
Landing on a lone opponent token sends it back to its base, except on safe squares. The four start squares and the four star squares are safe.
- 05
Bonus rolls
Rolling a 6, capturing a token or bringing a token home gives you another roll. Three 6s in a row forfeit the turn.
- 06
Exact finish
You need the exact number to reach home. A roll that would overshoot cannot be used by that token.

Pro tips
- Get a second token out early so a capture doesn’t stop you completely.
- Park on star squares when an opponent is right behind you.
- Use a 6 to come out of base when the area around your start is busy, and to chase when it’s clear.
