The following rules apply:
- a checker can only move to an open point, that is, to one that is not occupied by two or more checkers of the opposite color.
- the numbers on both dice make up separate moves.
The player who has a double, plays each of the numbers on each of the dice twice.
When a player has brought all his fifteen checkers into his house, he can start throwing them off the board. The one who first removed all the checkers from the board wins the game.
