Game instructions

The goal of the game is to bring all your chips into the house and remove them from the board before the second player does it. Players alternately roll the dice and move the checkers in accordance with the points that have fallen out, pass the checkers full circle on the board to their house and take them out of the board. The numbers on each dice indicate how many points, or steps, the player must move his checkers. Checkers always move only in one direction - from points with large numbers to points with smaller ones. The following rules apply: - a checker can only move to an open point, that is, to one that is not occupied by two or more checkers of the opposite color. - the numbers on both dice make up separate moves. The player who has a double, plays each of the numbers on each of the dice twice. When a player has brought all his fifteen checkers into his house, he can start throwing them off the board. The one who first removed all the checkers from the board wins the game.
