How to play
  1. 2–4 players, four pawns each. First to bring all four home wins. Two players use opposite sides.
  2. Enter with a five on one die or a total of five. Entry is compulsory when possible. Use both dice whenever possible, on one or several pawns.
  3. Safe spaces protect pawns. Your entry can capture a lone rival there. Two same-colour pawns form a blockade that nobody can cross; its pair cannot advance together to form another blockade that turn.
  4. A capture grants a 20-space bonus; reaching home grants 10. Bonuses move one pawn exactly and are forfeited if blocked. Home requires the exact count.
  5. Doubles grant another roll. Use only the two values shown; doubles add no opposite-face moves. A third consecutive double sends the nearest unfinished pawn back to start.
  6. Platform board: 68 outer spaces, 12 safe spaces and private home lanes. A 120-second decision limit plays an automatic legal action; disconnected players have 60 seconds to return.
