As the goal of almost every play is to reach to a conclusion, the main point of this game is to reach to the center (and that\u2019s why the first person who gets there wins!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, after you roll the dice, you start from the right space<\/strong> (or home) of each of the four starting points and you move in a counter clockwise<\/strong> (from right to left) direction as many spaces as your dice lets you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you reach the dotted lines<\/strong>, it means that you have two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can either continue<\/strong> in the same shape (level) or circle where you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 or<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can move inwards<\/strong> a level (in other words, you can go from one shape to another, eg. the circle to the square) but you can change levels only once in every move and you cannot move from one level to another twice in a row (which means you must change your dotted line if you want to move to the next level).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You cannot move backwards in shapes (e.g. from the outer square to the outer circle) unless another player hits your piece on the board, which means you should start again from the starting point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
