Rules

• Each player has 5 pieces starting on alternating squares 1-10. Race them off the board.
• Throw 4 sticks (painted side = 1, plain = 0). Total 0 painted = move 6. Rolls of 1, 4, or 6 grant an extra turn.
• Path snakes across 3 rows: right along row 1, left along row 2, right along row 3, then off.
• Land on an unprotected opponent to swap positions. A piece is protected if a friendly piece is on an adjacent square.
• Three or more consecutive opponent pieces form a blockade you cannot jump over.
• ☥ Sq 15 — House of Rebirth: safe square. Captured pieces return here.
• ✿ Sq 26 — House of Beauty: safe; all pieces must stop here before proceeding.
• ≈ Sq 27 — House of Water: piece is sent back to the House of Rebirth!
• ☰ Sq 28 / ☀ Sq 29 / ◉ Sq 30 — must roll exactly 3 / 2 / 1 to bear off.
• First player to bear off all 5 pieces wins!
