How to play

  1. Land on a point with no enemy stones or only one. Two enemy stones on one point block you.
  2. A stone that passes its own start has finished, and it stays home.
  3. The first side with all eight stones home wins. If both sides use 60 turns first, fewer pips left wins.

Controls

Tap one of your stones, then a lit point. The list under the board holds every move, and it works from the keyboard too.

About this game

Both sides race eight stones once around a ring of 24 points. Two dice move stones, and doubles give four moves. Landing on a lone enemy stone sends it back to its start.
