HOW TO PLAY
2 WHITE · 2 BROWN
Throw the seeds — the cut, creamy side counts.
Step 1
Choose 2, 3 or 4 players. Each seat sits on one edge of the board.
Step 2
Every player receives 4 pieces, resting in their own X base.
Step 3
Throw the four half-cut tamarind seeds to find your move.
Step 4 — Movement rules
| Result | Move | Extra turn |
|---|---|---|
| 1 White + 3 Brown | 1 | No |
| 2 White + 2 Brown | 2 | No |
| 3 White + 1 Brown | 3 | No |
| 4 Brown | 4 | Yes |
| 4 White | 8 | Yes |
Step 5
The four X-marked squares are safe zones. A piece standing there cannot be captured.
Step 6
Land exactly on an opponent on a normal square to capture them. The captured piece returns to its own original X base.
Step 7
HOME stays locked until you capture. A player may enter the centre HOME only after that player has captured at least one opponent piece during the match.
Step 8
Guide all four pieces along the route to the centre HOME. The first player to bring all four home wins.
