The Playing Area 

The playing area consists of a players home base, their safety area and the 
goal square along with the main playing path. 

A players home base consists of four white squares. it is the area where the 
players pieces are placed at the start of the game. 

The players playing area is the track of grey squares going around the board. 
The start of the track is one of the two square outlined in the players colors 
to the right of their home base. The track ends on the square below the players 
safety area. 

The safety area consists of the four squares at the end of the players playing 
path. These squares are the same color as the players pieces. 

The goal square is the multicolored square in the centre of the board. 

Movement 

The purple player (you) roll the dice first (double click left mouse button). 
On a roll of 6 the player can take any piece from their home base and place it 
(drag with the right mouse button) onto the bottom square outlined in the 
players color to the right of their home base. On a roll of 1 they can place a 
piece from their home base onto the top outlined square of their color.
