• If all the pieces are at the home positions the
players can bear off. If a piece is captured
then this needs to be brought back into the
game and through to home before the player
can continue throwing dice to take pieces out.
• The player can bear off over the last field. If
the dice numbers are not sufficient to bear
off then the pieces are simply moved by the
relevant number.
• If the move is further than the piece furthest
away then the piece can be removed.
• The player who is first to bear off wins the
game.
Doubling cube
The doubling cube is used when playing for
stakes.
• At the beginning of the game the doubling
cube is placed next to the board with the
number 64 facing upwards.
• Each player can propose doubling during
the game. The doubling must be announced
before throwing the dice.
• The player who first proposes doubling turns
the cube to the number 2.
• The opponent must either accept or give up.
• If the opponent has accepted the doubling the
stake is doubled and then he or she has the
right to announce the next doubling.
• At the next doubling the cube is turned to the
number 4 and the stake is multiplied by four.
