About
The family dice race in pocket form. Each player has three tokens; a six brings one out of base and earns another roll, tokens race once round the 28-square track and then up their own home lane, and landing exactly on a rival sends it back to base - except on the starred safe squares. Play one or three CPU opponents who capture greedily, play safe when they can and always bring new tokens out on a six.
Objective: Be first to get all three of your tokens home.
Modes: vs 1 CPU, vs 3 CPUs
