Understand the aim
Bear off all fifteen pieces before the opponent. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Making your moves
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
An example to follow
When only one die can be used and either is individually playable, use the larger die. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
Where a round can go wrong
An oversized bear-off requires no piece farther from the exit. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
