Players needed: 4 per table
Rounds to play before Banner: varies
Approx. Time: 30 - 45 min
Game Settings: Manual Fives, 1 Pawn Out, NO Blockades
This can be played as Singles or
Pards
The objective is to be the FIRST player
to get all 4 pawns home however..
you may not put a
pawn IN HOME, unless you have another pawn ON your 'STRIP'.
Your 'STRIP' is the
7 colored spaces UNDER your home triangle.
( marked in purple
on the image to the right )
The safety directly under your colored 'STRIP' is NOT
part of your 'STRIP.
Its part of the outer game board.
Think of it like this:
If ONLY YOU can put a pawn on a
particular space,
then its part of
YOUR colored 'STRIP'.
If
ANYONE can put a pawn on a space, then its part of the game
board. |

BLUE has 2 pawns
on their 'STRIP'
so they are free to enter 1 pawn home at any time but..
RED & YELLOW MUST WAIT until another pawn is in
their colored 'STRIP' before they can put another pawn
home.
|
BLUE & YELLOW were able to put a pawn home but..
they MUST wait until
ANOTHER pawn is IN their 'STRIP'
before they can enter another pawn
in home.
RED is also waiting for another pawn to enter
the 'STRIP' |
 |
 |
YELLOW now has 2 pawns home but..
will NOT be
able to put another pawn home UNTIL
their LAST PAWN is IN their
colored 'STRIP'.
|
GREEN put a pawn home before he should of.
This is a MISPLAY.
When a MISPLAY occurs, that player MUST resign
so the
game can continue with the other
players 1 player wins. |

The PARDS version is played the same as SINGLES except:
-
You & your pard are BOTH working to be the FIRST to
get 4 home for your TEAM.
-
It doesn't matter which pard gets the 4 in FIRST, you
BOTH will move on as a team.
-
If one pard is DQ, your team is NOT out yet!!
The other pard STILL CONTINUES to work for THE TEAM to move on.
-
In other words, If you were DQ'd for a MISPLAY but your pard
ended up being the the FIRST to get 4 in - you BOTH ADVANCE.
-
Kibitzing for the pard that got DQ'd is ALLOWED on
the table they were DQ'd from.
Remember:
-
Your colored 'STRIP' may
only have 1 or 2 pawns on it at ANY ONE TIME. You may
never have 3 pawns on it.
-
Pawn order is not important. Pawns
may enter the 'STRIP' or go home IN ANY ORDER.
-
The dice can force you to make a move that
will result in a DQ.
