Moving path of all the orange pawns

Each pawn follows the journey as below.

1. Enter at your tail starting square. Move forward into the main outer circuit. Complete one full loop around the outer circuit.
2. Return inward through the connecting bridge. Move along your inner arm to reach your final square.
3. Exact count is required to

Capturing (Cutting)

If your pawn lands on a square occupied by an opponent’s solitary pawn, the opponent’s pawn is sent back to home.

Capturing gives you an extra throw, pawns on safe squares cannot be captured.

The Mandatory Capture Rule

To allow your pawns to enter the inner arm (final stretch): You must have captured at least one enemy pawn earlier in the game.

Once you make one capture anytime during the game, all your pawns are allowed to move into the inner arm later.

Exact Finish

To finish a pawn at the final home square: You must land exactly on it.

If your throw score is higher than the required distance, that pawn cannot proceed to home square by that throw.

When do you get extra turns

You get another throw when: You throw 1, 5, 6, or 12, or, you

capture an opponent’s pawn.

Extra throws can be used to move any of your pawns.

If no pawn can move the full count of a throw: → That throw is

wasted, and your turn ends (unless extra throw applies).

Winning the Game

The first player to get all six pawns to their final home square wins.

Short Example of a Turn

You throw the cowrie shells and get score of 5 → You may enter

a pawn OR move one already on the board.

Because 5 gives an extra throw → Throw cowries again. Suppose the next throw is 3 → Move any one pawn forward 3 steps
