How to play

To play you will need:

Two players.
Five counters for each player (10 in total). We call the pieces (spools & cones): one player has spools, and the other has the cones.
Four or five throw-sticks.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 How to use throw-sticks:

You can move one square for every stick that lands coloured side up. If you throw all uncoloured sides up, you move five spaces.
If you are using dice, just ignore all rolls of six. If you get a six, simply roll again.

Rules: There are lots of different reconstructions of the game's rules, so here is one variation. Play moves from left to right on the top row, then right to left on the second row, then left to right on the bottom row like this:

Place the pieces on the top row squares 1-10 of the board alternating between spools and cones.
The youngest throws the sticks or rolls the dice first, then the other player. Whoever gets the higher number starts.
Throw the sticks or roll the dice to move one of your pieces.
One square can only have one piece on it at a time.
You cannot move your piece to a square already occupied by one of your own pieces.
Pieces can jump over other pieces.
Pieces can swap places with your opponent's piece if you land on its square.
Pieces cannot be swapped if they are next to a piece that is the same as them or two in a row. A row of three or more of the same pieces together can form a blockade. This cannot be jumped or swapped by an opponent, but you can jump over your own blockade.
You must make a move if it is possible.

If no move is possible, you pass your turn.
The first player to get all their pieces off the board wins.

Special Squares:

Square 15 is the House of Life. This is a safe square; a piece cannot be swapped off it.
You must land on Square 26, the House of Happiness in order to progress further. This is a safe square.
Square 27 is the House of Water. Landing on this square sends the piece back to Square 15, the House of Life.
Pieces can leave the board from:
- Square 26 (House of Happiness),
- Square 28 (Three Ba-birds),
- Square 29 (Two Men), and
- Square 30 (House of Ra-Horakht) if the correct number of spaces is thrown.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 These are all safe squares.
