A player must first get a six to be able to move a piece from the starting area onto the starting Wood tile. In each subsequent turn the player moves a piece forward 1 to 6 tiles as indicated by the nuts amount. Also, each time a player gets a 4 or 5 , same player gets another turn as a bonus.
If a player cannot make a valid move they must pass the die to the next player.
If a players piece lands on a tile containing an opponents piece, the opponents piece is captured and returns to the starting area.
Once a piece has completed a circuit of the board it moves up the home column of its own color. The player must get the exact number to advance to the home tile. The winner is the first player to get all four of their pieces onto the home square.
