BASICS
1. You click once on a piece to move it. The arrow will CHANGE SIZE 
when it is clickable. You can undo your move by clicking UNDO on 
the menu bar. You have two MOVES per turn. Each dice is ONE move. 
Ultragammon is automatically set to move by the left hand dice. 
If you want to move by the right hand dice first, click on it 
before you take your move. DOUBLES, if "on", give the right to 
another turn. If you pass the mouse over any of your pieces the 
blue POINTER shows you where you can move.

2. Whenever you stack THREE pieces onto a square (apart from the 
Start positions) this square then becomes your BASE this remains 
yours even if you move away. Bases are automatically marked with
a coloured marble. 

3. Whenever you land on any of your BASE(s) you automatically 
score ONE point. If you land on your opponents BASE(s), your opponent 
scores ONE point per piece. If you place THREE pieces on an opponents 
base it becomes your BASE. The first player to score 30 points WINS 
the game.

4. Pieces CANNOT land on on any square where an OPPONENT has PIECE(s) 
placed. This can be used strategically to BLOCK. A draw can be forced 
by placing six or more pieces in a row. When your opponent has ALL his 
pieces stacked directly on the square behind the block, the game is 
DRAWN.

ULTRAGAMMON has three skill levels and has several other customisable 
options. You can change options in direction, sound and doubles.
