What counts as success
Bear off all fifteen pieces before the opponent. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.
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.
The controls to know
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A closer look at one example
When only one die can be used and either is individually playable, use the larger die. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
Avoid this misunderstanding
An oversized bear-off requires no piece farther from the exit. A different version of the game may use a different rule. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
