Can you move your pieces around and off the board first? Roll the dice to move your pieces along the board. Move your pieces to any triangle on the board that has one or fewer of your opponent's pieces. The game proceeds counter-clockwise around the board starting from the top right corner. Once you get all of your pieces to the bottom right corner, you then roll to remove pieces from the board. The first to remove all of their pieces wins the game.
