Tips

Land on a corner or the center space and you can take a shortcut. Aim for the shortcuts!
Capture an opponent's piece and you get another throw. You also throw again when you get yut or mo.
When your own pieces land on the same space, they stack and move together. They travel far in one go, but if they're captured, they're all captured together.
