•A player must, if possible, play both parts of his roll.
•If it is impossible to use both parts of a roll, a player must (if possible) use the higher part. Then the player must “pass”.
•If a player is unable to use any part of his roll to move any of his pieces, he must “pass” and it is his opponent’s turn again.
•When a player rolls doubles, you can make four moves on the same piece or any combination of pieces you choose.
