The board is a 5x5 grid (25 cells total).
All 4 pieces start directly in the player's Starting House on the board.
5 Safe Zones: The 4 starting outer middle squares and the center Home square are marked with an "X". Pieces resting on safe zones cannot be cut!

If no piece of yours has reached the Main Home (Center Palace) yet, you MUST keep at least one piece in your Starting House!
The last piece in your starting house cannot leave until at least one of your pieces successfully reaches the Center Palace.
Once any piece enters the Main Home, the lock is lifted and you may empty your starting house!

Pieces do NOT start as Jugda at birth.
Forming Jugda: When you roll 2 and have two single pieces on the same square (outside of the four starting houses), you can choose to move 1 piece 2 steps OR bind them into a Jugda!
Ending Turn: Forming a Jugda immediately ends your turn ("next player's chance comes").
Unbreakable: Once formed, a Jugda cannot be broken.
1 House = 2 Shells: A Jugda moves at half rate (2 shells = 1 house, 4 shells = 2 houses + extra turn, 8 shells = 4 houses + extra turn).
Odd Shells (1 or 3): Jugdas CANNOT move on odd points! If you only have Jugdas left and roll 1 or 3, your turn passes automatically.
Immunity: A single opponent piece cannot cut a Jugda fortress!

Landing on an opponent's piece outside a safe square cuts it (returns to their start) and grants you an extra turn.
The Tod Rule: A player MUST cut at least one opponent piece to unlock entry into the inner ring! Without a cut, pieces must circle the outer ring again.

1 v 1 (Vs. Bot): You choose your personal Goti skin. The computer bot ALWAYS plays with Black Gotis. Grandmaster Hints are exclusively active in this mode!
Multi Bot: Computer bots randomly play with free colors you did NOT choose. Bots never have premium skins, and never play with Black.
Pass & Play: Shared device multiplayer. Each player chooses their own unique Goti skin. No two players can have the same skin (shows "Already equipped" overlay).
Crown Mastery: In 1v1 mode, winning with hints awards 1 Crown (👑); winning without hints awards 2 Crowns (👑👑)!
