Core Gameplay Mechanics
- Each player starts with eight total pieces split across two house colors.
- Pieces begin their journey only when a die roll of 6 is achieved, then follow a 56-step track to reach the center “home.”
- Movement continues with each dice outcome unless pieces are still inside the house.
- The first player to move all eight pieces to the center wins the game.
Strategic Piece Capture and Elimination Rules
- A piece captures an opponent's if it lands on the same block, sending the captured piece back to its starting house.
- Capturing may grant an additional turn if enabled in settings.
- A captured piece is removed permanently if the capturing player chooses that rule configuration.
- Pieces are safe from capture in designated safe blocks if the feature is enabled.
Dice Rolling and Turn Management
- Players may roll up to two times consecutively if each roll yields a 6.
- Dice outcomes must be used before rolling again, enforcing strategic planning and pace.
- DIRECT COUNT mode can be enabled for streamlined movement and faster gameplay.
