A piece simply moves in a clockwise direction around the track given by the number thrown. If no piece can legally move according to the number thrown, play passes to the next player.<\/p>\n<p>A throw of 6 gives another turn.<\/p>\n<p>A player must throw a 6 to move a piece from the starting circle onto the first square on the track. The piece moves 6 squares around the circuit beginning with the appropriately colored start square (and the player then has another turn).<\/p>\n<p>If a piece lands on a piece of a different color, the piece jumped upon is returned to its starting circle.<\/p>\n<p>If a piece lands upon a piece of the same color, this forms a block. This block cannot be passed or landed on by any opposing piece.<\/p>\n<p>When a piece has circumnavigated the board, it proceeds up the home column. A piece can only be moved onto the home triangle by an exact throw.<\/p>\n<p>The first person to move all 4 pieces into the home triangle wins.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Salodans (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">Opera News is a free to use platform and the views and opinions expressed herein are solely those of the author and do not represent, reflect or express the views of Opera News.
