next turn and roll again.

is coming up next goes rst.
How to PlayHow to Play
Take turns rolling the die and moving
your stones toward the end cup.
•You can split your roll however you’d like.
For example, if you roll a 5,you can move one stone
forward two pits and another forward three,
or move one piece forward ve.
• Send another player’s stone back to the start cup by
landing in the same pit as one of their stones. If the
other player has more than one stone in the pit,
all the stones go back.
• If your stones are in the rst
three pits nearest the start cup,
they cannot be sent back.
Take turns picking up all the stones
from any pit on your side of the board.
Starting with the next pit to the right, drop
one stone in each pit and your home cup as you
move counterclockwise around the board.
Skip your opponent’s home cup.
• If your last stone lands in your
home cup, take another turn.
• If your last stone lands in an empty pit on
your side of the board, take this stone plus all
of the stones in the opposite pit (on your
opponent’s side) and put them in your home cup.
