Try this example
When only one die can be used and either is individually playable, use the larger die. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Pay attention to this rule
An oversized bear-off requires no piece farther from the exit. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
