Build familiarity through play
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Refer to the controls when needed.
What counts as success
Bear off all fifteen pieces before the opponent. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Start here and follow along
- Roll and use the maximum legal number of dice; doubles give four moves.
- Enter barred pieces first.
- Points with at least two enemies are blocked; a lone enemy is hit.
- Bear off only after all pieces reach home.
Input guidance
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Follow the example
When only one die can be used and either is individually playable, use the larger die. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
One detail worth checking
An oversized bear-off requires no piece farther from the exit. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
