Gameplay
2 to 4 players begin by placing their respective pieces in their bases. Each takes turns throwing the die, and the player with the highest roll plays first.

The goal of the game is to move all four of the player’s pieces clockwise once around the board, up the home column, and into the home triangle.

Movement

To begin, a player must roll a six to move a piece out of the base and onto the starting square. That piece is then in play. The player cannot make any other moves until at least one piece is in play.

If a player has a piece or pieces in play, they can move any one of their pieces 1 to 6 squares along the path according to the number they roll.
