Controls

You play by rolling the die and moving your tokens. Tap to roll on your turn, then tap the token you want to move. The game only highlights tokens that can legally move, so you never have to work out the options yourself.

A few rules shape every turn:

• Rolling a six is how you get a token out of your starting yard and onto the track. A six also earns you another roll, so good sixes can stack up fast.
• Moving tokens happens clockwise around the shared track. You choose which of your tokens to advance by the number you rolled.
• Captures happen when you land exactly on a square holding a single enemy token, sending it back to its yard to start over. Some marked squares are safe from this.

You win when all four of your tokens complete the loop and reach your home column.

Against the computer, the difficulty rises across eight levels, so the opponent makes sharper choices about when to chase you and when to run.

Tips

• Get more than one token out early. Keeping only a single token in play means one capture sends you back to nothing. Spreading tokens onto the board gives you options every turn.
• Use safe squares when a rival is close behind. Parking on a marked safe square means an enemy can't capture you there, which buys time when someone is breathing down your neck.
• Weigh a capture against your own progress. Sending an enemy home feels great, but if the move drags your token backward or into danger, the setback might cost you more than it costs them.
• Spread your tokens rather than bunching them. Tokens grouped together can be picked off one square at a time. Keeping them apart makes you harder to punish with a single lucky roll.
• Save a token near home for a safe six. A token close to its home column is a reliable place to spend an awkward roll without exposing yourself to capture.
• Don't rush every token to the finish at once. Racing one token home while ignoring the others can leave you defenseless. Balancing progress across all four keeps you in the game.
