How to play
Move all your pieces to the “house” and bear them off the board. Your opponent has the same goal and can block off positions with their own pieces.
At the start of a turn, you roll two dice. Each die allows you to move one piece by as many points as there are pips showing on its side facing upward. For example, if you roll a 3 and a 2, you can move one piece by three points and another one by two points. Alternatively, you can move one piece first by three points, and then by two.
You can move only one piece per turn from the starting position. The only exception is the first turn, when you can move two pieces from the starting position.
Win against the computer to improve your rating. Your position is determined by prestige points.
You can find an in-depth tutorial in the Settings menu.
