About this game

A dice race inspired by the ankle-bone games of Mongolia. Toss four bones that land as Horse, Camel, Sheep or Goat, hold the ones you like and toss the rest again, then gallop your bone-horse along a winding trail across the steppe. Land on a tailwind, avoid marmot burrows, and flick rivals back. Play one to three computer riders, get Hints, or watch a whole race with Auto Play.

How to play

1. Tap or swipe up on the felt mat to toss four bones.
2. Each side is worth strides; matching sides earn a bonus.
3. Tap bones to hold them, then Toss again (up to two more times).
4. Press Gallop: your bone-horse rides that many stations.
5. Tailwinds push you on, burrows push you back, and landing on a rival flicks them back.
6. First to station 66 wins.
