Not much is known about this game but people suspect the game rules are this

  • Throw the sticks to see how many squares to move your piece forward ( you could also use a dice).
  • If you throw a one, four, or six, you get an extra turn.
  • You can't land on one of your own pieces.
  • If you land on the other player's piece, you switch places with them. However, you can't switch with them if they have two or more pieces in a row.
  • If the other player has three or more pieces in a row, you can't pass them.
  • The first 3 squares with the special markings stop you from being switched and the other one takes you back to the middle row.
  • The first player to get all of their pieces off the board wins the game. You can not get your pieces off the board until all of your pieces are off the top row
