Two players.
Each player should try to move all their pieces from start to goal. The first with all pieces in goal is the winner.
It is a turn based game with dieces. There is four dieces each returning the value of 1 or 0. A throw of the dieces will return a total between 0 and 4. That is the number of steps the player should move one of his pieces.
There are five rosette on the board. If a piece lands on a square with a rosetta the player gets an extra throw of the dieces.
There can only be one piece on a square at the time. If a players piece lands on a square with a piece of the opponent on it, the opponets piece will be sent back to start. If the square have a rosetta on it the opponent's piece will be safe. The player may not make that move.
When a pieces is leaving the board going into goal it must be with a throw with the exact number of steps needed.
If the player throws a 0 or if there is no move that the player can do the turn goes over to the opponent. A player may not pass his turn without making a move if a move can be made.
