The game also works in landscape too, and should appear quicker and smoother.

App Description

Overview
========

A traditional race game for 2-4 players that has its origins in 6th century India.

Each player has four pieces and the object is to them all from the start area to your home triangle at the centre of the board. If you throw a six you can start the journey with one of your pieces and then advance around the board as you throw the dice. When you are near to home you will need to throw the exact number to get to safety.

However, beware of the other players’ pieces! If your piece is alone on a square then it can be 'topped' by another player landing a piece on the same square. If this happens your piece is return to your start area – and you have to throw a six to re-start the journey. If you have two or more pieces on the same square then they are safe, and another player cannot land on this square.

Getting started
===============
To play with friends using Game Center press the "live multiplayer" button, after logging in. One player will be the host, this player should set up the game.

Choose what type of player you would like and move the avatar into a numbered player position. The player type dictates the interactions you need to make during the game (the free game only has one type of player). Once you are happy with your selections you can start.

Extending the game
==================

The free game is for 2 human players. For a small purchase you can add a further 2 player slots, and can add further player types including a 'relaxed' player (ideal for parents). If ads appear they can be removed for a small purchase, by tapping "remove ads".
