01 · THE ESSENTIALS

The rules to get started

The proposed variant

Four binary dice, rosettes and exact exit.

THE ESSENTIALS

How to Play

  1. Finkel–Scott 2017 recreation: seven pieces, four binary dice (0 to 4), fourteen-square route, then exact exit.
  2. The first camp enters at d1 and the second at d3; go back toward a, cross the middle row, then exit through g on your row.
  3. An opposing pawn joins its reserve when it is caught up. The central rosette is protected; any rosette grants an extra roll.
  4. If no move fits the roll, pass. Get your seven pieces out before your opponent.
