Présentation

Game boards that the form of 36 symbols, placed in three rows of twelve but divided in the middle by either a gap or other, larger signs, such as circles or rosettes. Sometimes the 36 symbols are letters, forming six six-letter words that form a poem or phrase, often relating to game play.

Play begins in the central row and continues from left to right, then down the furthest row from right to left, then on the closest row from left to right. Played using three dice; throws can be used singly or combined but could not be divided. No second throw with doubles or triples. More than one piece of the same player can occupy one point, Single pieces can be removed from the board when the opponent lands on it; it must then be re-entered to the board before the player can move their other pieces. The goal is to bear off all of the player's pieces, which can be done one they are all in the closest row.
