The classic race-to-home board game for 2–4 players. Mix human players and computer opponents and play on a single device.

Players — at least two seats must be playing

How to Play

  1. Choose who plays each colour (Human, Computer or Not playing) and press Start game.
  2. On your turn, roll the die by clicking it or pressing R.
  3. Roll a 6 to bring a token out of your base onto your coloured start square.
  4. Move a highlighted token forward by the number rolled; tokens travel clockwise around the board and then up your home column.
  5. Land exactly on an opponent token to capture it and send it back to its base. Tokens on star squares and start squares are safe.
  6. Rolling a 6, capturing a token or bringing a token home earns another roll. Three 6s in a row forfeits the turn.
  7. The first player to bring all four tokens home wins. You need the exact number to reach home.

Tips & Strategy

  • Get several tokens out early so a bad roll never leaves you without a useful move.
  • Park on star squares when an opponent is within six squares behind you.
  • A capture is often worth more than advancing your lead token, since it also earns an extra roll.
  • Don't rush one token home while the others sit in base; spread the risk.
