THE RULES

Bring all seven pieces home

  1. Roll four marked dice. The number of bright corners is your move: zero to four.
  2. Choose a highlighted piece, or bring a new one onto your private lane.
  3. Landing on an opponent sends their piece back. The central rosette is protected.
  4. Every rosette grants another roll. You must roll the exact number to exit.
