If the bowl opposite contains any of the other player's pieces they can be taken and play begins again from the beginning of the original row. If there are no pieces to take play continues. If the player's last piece lands in a vacant bowl his turn ends. The objective is to clear all the pieces from the other player's front row or to leave him no bowl on his side with two pieces with which to start. The rules and design are simple but nevertheless make for an exciting game.
Advantage sweeps quickly from one player to the other yet victory is surprising when it comes.
I am getting hooked on this game and would like to learn the other variations I failed to learn by heart on my trip. Apologies if you recently answered a similar query, I saw many travellers queueing at post offices to ship these beautiful tables home and will be glad to see more people playing this enjoyable game. Thank you in anticipation of your or your contributor's help.
