About the application:

A ver of this mini game was originally played in ancient Mesopotamia around 4500 years ago. Objective Run all your pieces through the course and out before your opponent. Rules Piece movements are determined by rolling four pyramid-shaped dice. Two of the four corners of each die are marked, giving each die a 50% possibility of landing with a marked or unmarked corner facing up. After rolling, the total number of marked ends facing upwards indicates how a lot of places a user may move during that turn. Players are needed to move a piece whenever possible, even if it results in an unfavorable outcome. Rolling a zero will automatically skip your turn. Sometimes it is impossible to move the indicated amount of places and the turn is also automatically skipped. If a user lands a piece on a place already occupied by one of their opponent's pieces, the opponent's piece is captured and sent back to the beginning, off the board. The places that have a mandala are unique. Landing in one of them will grant a second roll of the dice. In addition, pieces on mandala places can't be captured. To exit a piece off the board at the end of the course the user must roll the exact number of places remaining plus one.
