The 6 Cheats
Every cheat costs Cheat Energy (shown as % under your name) and can be caught by an opponent's Accuse — the riskier the move, the more it usually costs.
Force the dice to show a number you choose, before rolling. Illegal — and accusable.
Spawn a token straight out of the Yard without needing to roll a 6.
Glide 1–6 extra spaces past your actual roll — the further you push it, the pricier it gets.
Move a token backward — handy to duck into safety or line up an ambush.
Teleport a token within 3 spaces straight into the nearest safe zone.
Secretly glide past a snake tile your honest roll would've landed you on.
The Cheats menu, exactly as it looks in a match.
Getting Caught
After any cheat move, every opponent gets a short window to hit Accuse. What happens next depends on whether they're actually right.
🚨 Caught red-handed
Your move is fully undone — captures reversed, the token sent back to where it started (or the Yard, if it had crossed a snake). Your turn ends immediately, even on a genuine double-six — no bonus turn. The accuser gets +50% Cheat Energy and an instant bonus turn.
✅ Nobody accuses
The cheat quietly stands. The energy you spent is gone either way, but your move — and the rest of your turn — plays out completely normally.
❌ False accusation
Accused an honest move by mistake? The accuser skips their own next turn — so only accuse when you're fairly sure.
Double Dice — How to Move
In Double Dice mode you roll two dice at once, and you choose how to spend them.
+
- After rolling, tap one die (or "Total") to pick which value to use next.
- Tap a highlighted token to move it with that value.
- Each die can move a different token — or combine both on one token using "Total".
- A token exactly 1 space from Home can always finish on a rolled 1, even if the other die doesn't match.
- Any leftover die can move a second token, or be skipped.
- Caught cheating on a Double Dice move? Same rule as always — the move (and any value it used, single die or combined) is fully undone, and your turn ends immediately. A leftover die is lost too, not just skipped.
Hidden Tunnels
A secret shortcut hiding somewhere on the board — different spots every match.
- Land on a tunnel entrance with an honest roll and you're instantly swept to that tunnel's exit tile.
- Up to 2 hidden tunnels are hiding each match, re-hidden in new spots every new game.
- One tunnel's exit always lands on a snake tile — a double surprise. The other tunnel's exit never does.
- Only a genuine dice-driven landing triggers a tunnel — a cheat move sweeps straight past it.
Nearby Play — 2-Step Setup
Play with friends on nearby devices — no internet or account needed. Two quick steps and you're in.
Pick Nearby Play & continue
- On the home screen, choose the Nearby Play game mode.
- Tap "Next: Player Setup →" to move on.
Set up seats & invite
- Tap any seat to cycle it: Human → CPU → Empty. The first Human seat is always this device — you're the host.
- Type a name for any seat, including the ones you're about to invite — it'll show up on their badge once they join.
- For every other Human seat, tap Generate Invite — a QR code and an invite code appear. Send it however's easiest (scan, copy, or WhatsApp).
- Your friend opens it on their own device, which turns it into their own Answer Code — they send that back to you the same way (scan, copy, or WhatsApp).
- Scan or paste their Answer Code into that seat's card and tap Complete Connection — the seat turns 🟢 Connected.
- Once every seat you invited shows Connected, tap Start Game.
Online Play — 3 Ways In
Play with anyone, anywhere over the internet — no shared Wi‑Fi needed. Sign in with Google first (see the Account card on the home screen), then pick whichever of these three fits.
Find a Match
- Pick 1 Dice or 2 Dice, then tap 2-Player Match or 4-Player Match.
- You're placed in a short queue. If nobody else joins in time, CPUs fill the empty seats — and if you end up facing bots only, your entry coins are refunded automatically.
Create a Room
- Type your name and tap Create Room to get a room code.
- Share that code with friends anywhere, not just this Wi‑Fi.
- Entry coins are only charged once the game actually starts — never just for creating or sitting in the room.
Join a Room
- Type your name and the room code a friend sent you, then tap Join Room.
- Same entry-coin rule as Create Room — charged only once the game actually starts.
