How to Play

1. Roll the Dice: Click or tap the dice button to generate two numbers which determine your move distance.
2. Move Your Checkers: Select your pieces and move them across the pips in a horseshoe path toward your home board.
3. Capture and Block: Land on a single enemy checker to send it to the bar, or stack two of your own to create an impassable point.
4. Bear Off: Once all fifteen checkers reach your home board (the final 6 pips), begin removing them from the board to secure the win.

Tips & Strategy

• The 6th Point is Key: Maintaining control over your home board's 6th point is essential for a safe bearing-off phase on Game2Over.
• Control the Bar: Hitting a 'blot' (a single enemy checker) sends it to the bar, forcing your opponent to waste turns re-entering while you advance.
• Anchor Early: Try to establish an 'anchor' (two checkers on a single pip) in your opponent's home board to prevent them from closing you out.
• Risk vs. Reward: Only leave a blot (a single checker) exposed if the potential strategic gain outweighs the 1-in-6 chance of your opponent hitting it.
