Rules Of The Game
The Objective
The objective of the game is to be the first
player to move all their 15 pieces around
the Board into their home table(refer to
the figure on page 1), and then remove
them or “bear off” from the Board . The
number off bear-off pips will be indicat-
ed by numbers in the upper left corner of
the display. See figure below:
Playing the Game
• Each player moves their pieces accord-
ing to the numbers shown on the dice.
• A player moves the same pieces or any
two pieces, once for the number on one
die. And again for the number on the
other die. But you cannot add the total of
the two die.
• A player must, if possible, play both
parts of his roll.
• If it is impossible to use both parts of a
roll, a player must (if possible) use the
higher part. Then the player must “pass”.
• If a player is unable to use any part of
his roll to move any of his pieces, he must
“pass” and it is his opponent’s turn again.
• When a player rolls doubles, you can
make four moves on the same piece or
any combination of pieces you choose.
Computers can sometimes
"lock up" due to static dis-
charge or other electrical
disturbances. If this should
happen, use a slim, pointed
object to press the buton
marked “RESET.”
