Bring all 3 pawns home
Roll two dice and spend them one pawn at a time. A pawn only leaves the nest on a 6. Land square on a lone rival pawn (off the four safe squares) to send it back to its nest and earn a 20-square bonus move; reaching home earns a 10-square bonus. Two of your pawns on one loop square are a blockade nobody can pass or land on, including you. Doubles roll again, twice at most. HOME must be reached on an exact count. First to bring all three pawns home wins; if the first player gets there, the second player gets one last turn to match it.
