¬ Purple’s Inner Table  Teal’s Inner Table
 Purple’s Outer Table à Teal’s Outer Table

OBJECT

Be the first player to move your pieces from point to point
around the board until you have brought all of them to your
inner table and eliminated them from the game.

BASIC RULES OF THE GAME

• To determine who goes first, both players roll one die each.
The player with the higher roll goes first and uses the total
from both dice for his/her first move.

• Players then alternate throwing two dice and moving their
pieces a number of points corresponding to the
numbers thrown.

• It is important that players consider each turn as being
made up of two parts, or moves, as indicated by the dice
thrown – one part corresponding to the number of pips
(spots) on one die, and the other part corresponding to the
number of pips on the other.

• Light and dark pieces move in opposite directions. Move
your pieces according to the following path: from your
opponent’s inner table to your opponent’s outer table, then
to your own outer table and from there to your own
inner table.

• Because of the arrangement of the pieces at the beginning
of the game, not every piece will pass through all four
tables. There is no limit to the number of the same player’s
pieces that may occupy a point at once.

clockwise.

THE DOUBLING CUBE VARIATION

If you are playing the Doubling Cube variation of
backgammon, the following rules are in effect:

• At any time during the game, after the first throw of the
dice has been made, either player may, before throwing the
dice, double the stake for which the game is played.

• When the stake is doubled, the opponent may either
accept the double and continue the game, or surrender
and lose the game.

• The privilege of doubling is at first allowed to either player
and then alternately, remaining with the player who has
accepted the last double.

MOVES

The different colored pieces move in opposite directions. The
pieces move across alternately colored points to reach their
inner table. The colors of the points are not significant to the
play of the game.

You may move your pieces in any order you choose. When
you have made your throw, you may move one piece the
number of pips on one die and another piece the number of
pips on the other. Or, you may play one piece for the total,
but the play must be treated as two moves, for a piece must
not land on a point blocked to him/her by his/her opponent.
(See “Blocks” below.)

DOUBLES

When duplicate numbers are rolled, the play is doubled.
Thus, if 5-5 is rolled, two pieces may be moved two moves of
five points each, or the roll may be divided into four moves
of five points each by one or more pieces.

BLOCKS

A “block” is a point that contains two or more of your
opponent’s pieces. No piece of yours may land on such a
point. A piece may pass over, but may never touch down or
land on, a blocked point. Any part of the roll of the dice that
cannot be played is lost, but both dice must be played if
possible.

BLOTS

A “blot” is a point occupied by a single piece. If you move a
piece to a point occupied by a single opponent, the
opponent’s piece is automatically removed from the point
and placed on bar.

BAR

The separation between the inner and outer tables is call the
“bar.” When you have a piece on bar, you cannot move any
other pieces until you have reentered into play your piece on
bar. A piece on bar (bar piece) must be reentered in the

12

MILTON BRADLEY®CLASSIC BOARD GAMES MILTON BRADLEY®CLASSIC BOARD GAMES

13

opponent’s inner table onto a numbered point corres­ponding to the throw of the dice. The number shown on
either die may be used for reentering, and the number on the
other die may be used to move another piece or the
reentered piece. The pips on each die must be counted
separately; they may not be combined to reenter a bar piece.
If your dice roll does not allow you to reenter a bar piece,
your turn ends.

BEARING OFF

To “bear off” your pieces is to eliminate them from the game
according to the throws of the dice. The pips on each die
must be counted separately; they may not be combined in
bearing off.

When you have moved all of your pieces onto your own inner
table, proceed to bear them off. If there are no pieces on a
point corresponding to or higher than the number thrown, a
piece on the inner table farthest from the ace point may then
be borne off.

Should one of your pieces be taken up and placed on bar
after you have started bearing off, you must reenter the bar
piece on the opponent’s inner table and move around the
board to your own inner table before you may again proceed
to bear off your pieces.

In bearing off, as in regular play, the play is doubled when
doubles are thrown.

HOW TO WIN

The player who first bears off all of his/her pieces wins
the game.

THE BACKGAMMON GAME SCREEN

On your turn:

1. First left-click on the Roll button to roll the dice (if playing
the Doubling Cube variation).

Note: If you are playing the Regular Backgammon variation,
the dice will automatically be rolled for you.

2. Then left-click on the piece you want to move.

3. Carry the selected piece to its correct place on the
gameboard. Left-click to drop the piece into position.
(If you change your mind before dropping the piece, right­click to return all pieces moved during the current turn to
their original locations.)

v CHECKERS

OBJECT

Be the first player to capture all of your opponent’s checkers.

BASIC RULES OF THE GAME

• Blue always moves first.

• Players alternate turns, moving one piece per turn.

• Checkers can move diagonally forward only, from one
maroon square to an adjoining maroon square.

JUMPING

A player captures an opposing checker by diagonally
jumping over it when the square behind the opposing
checker is empty. A checker can make multiple jumps as
long as it continues to move forward. Captured pieces are
automatically removed from the board and placed in the
player’s Captured Pieces window.

JUMPS FORCED VARIATION

If you are playing the “Jumps Forced” variation of Checkers, you
MUST jump your opponent’s piece if in a position to do so.

JUMPS NOT FORCED VARIATION

If you are playing the “Jumps Not Forced” variation of
Checkers, you do not have to jump your opponent’s piece,
even if in a position to do so.

CROWNING

When a checker reaches the first row of the opponent’s side
of the board, it is “crowned” with one of the player’s captured
pieces and becomes a “King.” This ends your turn.

Note:The King can diagonally move or jump either forward
or backwards.

HOW TO WIN

If you block your opponent’s forces so that they cannot move,
or you capture all of them, you win!

THE CHECKERS GAME SCREEN

On your turn:

1. Left-click on the piece you want to move.

2. Carry the selected piece to its correct place on the
gameboard. Left-click to drop the piece into position.
(If you change your mind before dropping the piece, right­click to return the piece to its original location.)

Important!

You may only move your checker diagonally. Multiple
jumps are handled one at a time. You will hear a beep if
your current move attempt is not valid.

“Resign” Button: Left-click here to end the game and
accept defeat.

“Offer Draw” Button: Left-click here to offer your opponent
a “draw” for the game (no winner; no loser).

v CHESS

OBJECT

The object of Chess is to capture the opposing player’s King.
Pieces are captured by moving a piece into a square
occupied by an opposing piece. Play continues until the
opposing player’s King is captured or is “Checkmated.”
(See “Checkmate!” on page 19.)

THE DIFFERENT PIECES

Though each chess piece has its own unique abilities, no
chess piece can make more than one capture per move.

Pawn

• Can move in one direction only – straight ahead.

• Can move forward either one or two squares on its
first move, and only one square at a time on all
following moves.

• If blocked by an opposing piece, it cannot advance until
that piece moves out of the way.

• Can only capture opposing pieces diagonally ahead of it.
(See “Captured Pieces” on page 18.)

• Can perform “En Passant” maneuver. (See “En Passant”
on page 18.)

• Can be “promoted.” (See “Pawn Promotion” on page 18.)

Rook

• Moves in a straight line forward, backwards, left, or right
any number of unobstructed spaces.

• Can perform “Castling” maneuver with the King. (See
“Castling” on pages 18 – 19.)

16

MILTON BRADLEY®CLASSIC BOARD GAMES MILTON BRADLEY®CLASSIC BOARD GAMES

17

Knight

• Is the only chess piece that can jump over other pieces.

• Moves in an “L-shaped pattern” by jumping from one
color corner square to the opposite color corner square
of a 3 x 2 rectangle.

Bishop

• Moves diagonally forward and backwards any number
of unobstructed spaces.

Queen

• Moves in any direction any number of unobstructed spaces.

King

• Moves one space in any direction.

• Can perform “Castling” maneuver with a Rook. (See
“Castling” below.)

• Cannot move into a space that would allow it to move
into Check. (See “Check” on page 19.)

CAPTURED PIECES

Captured pieces are automatically removed from the
gameboard and placed in the player’s Captured Pieces
window. The captor moves to the square formerly held
by the captured.

PAWN PROMOTION

When a pawn reaches the first row of the opponent’s side of
the board, it can be exchanged for any kind of piece the
player wishes, except for King. After the new piece has been
selected, it will automatically replace the old piece on
the gameboard.

EN PASSANT

If a pawn moves two squares on its first move, it can be
captured by an opposing pawn if it moves to a position
adjacent to that pawn. The attacking pawn captures the
defending pawn by moving diagonally behind it.

Important! The attacking pawn can only make this move on the turn
immediately following the defending player’s opening pawn move.

CASTLING

This special move allows the King to be placed in a protective
position. The King is moved two spaces towards the Rook
and the Rook is moved to the opposite square adjacent
to the King.

Castling may only take place if the following conditions
are met:

• Neither the King nor the Rook has been moved since the
beginning of the game.

• There are no pieces in-between the King or the Rook.

• The King is not in Check.

• The King cannot move through Check.

In this version of Chess, moving the King two spaces towards
the Rook will automatically cause the Castling maneuver to
take place, providing all of the above conditions are met.

CHECK

The King is the only piece that is not removed from the board
when captured. Whenever a player can capture his/her
opponent’s King, the King is said to be “In Check.” The King’s
owner must try to free him from Check in one of three ways:

• By capturing the Checking piece.

• By moving the King into an adjacent square, free
from Check.

• By moving one of his/her pieces between the King and
the Checking piece – thus intercepting the Check.

CHECKMATE!

If a player is unable to free his/her King from a Check
situation, the King is checkmated and the opponent
wins the game.

THE CHESS GAME SCREEN

On your turn:

1. Left-click on the piece you wish to move. (Player 1 moves
green; Player 2 moves maroon.)

2. Carry the selected piece to its correct place on the
gameboard. Left-click to drop the piece into position. You
will hear a beep if your current move attempt in not valid.

“Resign” Button: Left-click here to end the game and
accept defeat.

“Offer Draw” Button: Left-click here to offer your opponent
a “draw” for the game (no winner; no loser).

v CONNECT FOUR

®

v DOMINOES

OBJECT

Be the first player to get four of your colored checkers in a
row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You may only
place one checker at a time. The player playing the red
checker always goes first.

THE CONNECT FOUR®GAME SCREEN

On your turn:

1. Left-click on your stack of checkers to select a piece.

2. Carry the piece up along the top of the rack.

3. Left-click over the row where you would like to drop
your piece. The piece will fall into that row. This
ends your turn.

4. Play alternates until one player gets FOUR checkers of his
or her color in a row. The four in a row can be horizontal,
vertical or diagonal.

OBJECT

The first player to score 100 points wins the game.

BASIC RULES OF THE GAME

Dominoes is a game in which players must match the set of
spots that appear on ends of rectangular tiles. Players must
try to rid themselves of all their dominoes, also referred to as
bones, before all other players. All dominoes must be played
face up and must match any other domino currently in play.

Each domino is divided into two parts, or ends, each
containing a set of spots known as “pips.” A double domino
contains matching ends (6-6, 5-5, etc.). The player with
the highest double domino begins the game. Play then
moves clockwise.

The second player then tries to match one of his/her
dominoes to one end or side of the double. For example, if
the first domino played is a double four, the second player
may add one domino containing four spots on one end or
side. The next player may play to the double four or match
the end of the second domino played. Blanks match other
blanks. Only one domino may be played at each turn. Players
match ends of the dominoes, but may play to either end or
to either side of the double.

On your turn, if you cannot match the spots at any open end
of a row, you must draw from the extra dominoes until able
to do so. Should you draw the last domino and still not be
able to play, you pass and then try again on your next turn.
Doubles are always placed crosswise to the end they
match, thereby giving two new directions in which to
place dominoes.

20

MILTON BRADLEY®CLASSIC BOARD GAMES MILTON BRADLEY®CLASSIC BOARD GAMES

21

Play continues until one player has used all of his/her
dominoes, and is declared the winner, or until no one can
make a play. The winner’s score is determined by adding the
points (spots) of the opponent’s remaining dominoes. In the
event no one can make a play, the player with the fewest
points on his/her remaining dominoes is declared the winner
and scores by subtracting his/her points from the total
number of points on the opponent’s remaining dominoes.
Rounds continue until one player scores 100 points. The first
player to score 100 points or more wins the game.

THE VARIATIONS

1 Set – If you choose to play the 1 Set variation of Dominoes,
you will play with a total of 28 dominoes.

2 Sets – If you choose to play the 2 Sets variation of
Dominoes, you will play with a total of 56 dominoes.

v PARCHEESI

®

THE DOMINOES GAME SCREEN

GETTING STARTED

Play begins with dominoes being automatically dealt to all
the players. The number of dominoes dealt to each player
varies according to the number of players in the game.

2 Players – 7 dominoes
3 Players – 6 dominoes
4 Players – 5 dominoes

Your dominoes are located along the bottom of the screen.
The numbers on top of your opponents’ domino represent
how many dominoes they have left in their respective hands.

On your turn:

1. Left-click to pick up your desired domino.

2. Carry the selected domino to its desired location.

3. Right-click to rotate the domino.

4. Left-click to place it into position.

Note:You will hear a beep if you attempt to place a domino is an
invalid location.

IMPORTANT! On your turn, if you cannot match the spots
at any open end of a row, you must draw from the extra
dominoes until able to do so. To draw a domino, simply
left-click on the

OBJECT

Be first to move all four of your pawns from your START
circle to HOME.

THE BASIC RULES OF THE GAME

Entering Your Pawns

Each pawn must be entered before it can move around the
gameboard path. On each of your turns, try to enter your
pawns by rolling FIVES, as explained below. To enter each
pawn, place it on your ENTER space.

• Pawns are entered only on die rolls of FIVE – a 5 on one or
both dice; or any combination totaling 5 (4 + 1 or 3 + 2).

• When possible, you must enter a pawn. However, if you
can’t use a FIVE to enter, try to use it for movement.

Moving Your Entered Pawns

Move your entered pawns counterclockwise along the path
the number of spaces you roll on the dice (see the arrow on
the gameboard). Move your pawns by the rules below:

• You may move one or two pawns on your turn. For
example, if you roll 4 and 3, you can move one pawn 4+3
spaces, or 3+4 spaces; or you can move one pawn 4 spaces,
and another pawn 3 spaces.

• You

must move whenever possible. If you cannot move by
the count of both dice, you may move one pawn by the
count of either one of the dice.

• No more than two of your pawns can occupy any space.

Doublets

A roll of matching dice is called doublets. A roll of doublets
entitles you to another roll — and may also entitle you to a
bonus move.

22

MILTON BRADLEY®CLASSIC BOARD GAMES MILTON BRADLEY®CLASSIC BOARD GAMES

23

• If you roll doublets
entered, take your turn as usual, and then roll again.

•

Doublets Bonus: If you roll doublets after all four of your
pawns are entered, use the four numbers on the
the

bottoms of the dice for movement. The total of this
4-part move is always 14, and can be taken by one pawn or
split among two or more pawns.

For example, if you roll two 6’s, use the two 6’s on the tops
and the two 1’s on the bottoms for your 4-part move. If you
decide to split the move among three pawns, you may
decide to move one pawn 6 spaces, a second pawn 1
space, and the third pawn 6 spaces, then 1 space.

If you can’t take all 4 parts of your move, you must move
any portion, which you can move. Whether you move or
not, roll again.

•

Doublets Penalty: The third consecutive time you roll
doublets, don’t move your pawns at all. Instead, remove
your pawn closest to HOME (even if it’s on your Home
Path) and return it to your START circle, where it must be
re-entered later. This ends your turn.

Capturing an Opponent’s Pawn

When you land on an opponent’s pawn by the count of any
die, you capture it. Return the captured pawn to its START
circle, where it must be re-entered later.

Pawns cannot be captured on their Home Path spaces,
or on most Safety spaces. (See “Safety Spaces,” below, for
the exception).

If you capture a pawn after moving by the count of one die,
you may continue your move with the same pawn
another pawn.

Capture Bonus: After capturing a pawn, move any one of your
pawns an additional 20 spaces at the end of your turn. (If you
capture during a Doublets Bonus move, complete your rolls
before moving your Capture Bonus.)

If you can’t move one pawn the full 20 spaces, you forfeit
the bonus.

If a blockade occupies your ENTER space, you cannot
enter a pawn.

You may be forced to break up your own blockade if you can’t
move any of your other pawns.

The two pawns in a blockade cannot be moved forward in
one turn to form a blockade together on a new space.

Reaching Home

To reach HOME, move your pawns up your Home path (the
red path in front of you) and into the HOME square. You
may not move your pawns onto any opponent’s Home
Path spaces.

Each pawn must enter HOME by exact die roll, counting the
HOME square as a space.

Home Bonus: After moving a pawn HOME, move any one of
your pawns an additional 10 spaces at the end of your turn.
If you can’t move one pawn the full 10 spaces, you forfeit
the bonus.

v PENTE

®

THE BASIC RULES OF THE GAME

There are two ways to win in Pente:

1. By getting five (or more) of your color winks in a row,
either horizontally, vertically or diagonally, with no empty
points between them,

2. By capturing five (or more) pairs of your opponent’s winks.

or

HOW TO PLAY

Play begins with the board completely clear of winks. The
first player begins the game by playing one wink on the
board. Thereafter the players take turns playing their winks,
one at a time, on any empty intersection. The winks are
played on the intersections of the lines (including the edge of
the board), rather than in the squares.

A move is completed when the wink is released. Once played,
a wink cannot be moved again, except when removed by a
capture. (See “Captures” below.)

The players take turns adding new winks to the board,
building up their positions, until one player wins.

CAPTURES

Whenever your opponent has two winks (and only two)
which are adjacent, those winks are vulnerable to capture.
The pair can be captured by bracketing its two ends with
your own winks.

Captures can be made along diagonal as well as horizontal
and vertical lines. All four winks involved must be
consecutive and in a straight line. As soon as the capturing
play is made, the captured winks are removed from the grid
and placed in view along the border so that both players can
see how many winks have been taken.

Moving into a captured position – A wink may legally be
played onto any empty intersection, even if that point has
been previously occupied, and even if it forms a pair
between two enemy winks.

Multiple captures – It is legal to capture two or more pairs
with a single move.

FIVE IN A ROW

The five-in-a-row must be consecutive and in a straight line
to win. It may run in any direction — horizontally, vertically,
or diagonally. It need not be exactly five — six or more stones
in a row win as well.

THE PENTE®GAME SCREEN

On your turn:

1. Position your cursor over the area where you would like
to place a wink.

2. Left-click to place your wink in that location.

Note: Your opponent’s captured winks will appear in your
Captured Winks window.
