Two, three, or four can play, without partnerships.At the beginning of the game, each player's four tokens are out of play and staged in the player's yard.When able to, the players will enter their tokens one per time on their respective starting squares, and proceed to race them clockwise around the board along the game track.When reaching the square below his home column, a player continues by moving tokens up the column to the finishing square. The first to bring all their tokens to the finish wins the game. The others often continue play to determine second-, third-, and fourth-place finishers.
