The object of the game is to move your marbles across the board to the star point directly opposite. The player getting all marbles across first wins. 

Each player uses a different colored set of marbles and places them into a point of the star. Choose a player to start; then play continues to the left. Players can move or jump in any direction as long as they follow the direction of the lines. As in checkers, move only one hole or jump only one marble; although successive jumps are allowed wherever they can be made in any direction. 

Partners may be chosen and in the event of one partner finishing first, he or she is permitted to help the unfinished partner move his marbles. As the game draws to a conclusion a player cannot remain in his or her original starting point in order to prevent an opponent from finishing the game.
