When all of your pegs have been moved from ‘home’ to your ‘castle’, you must assist your partner on year left. You cannot jump your own peg except when using a joker. You may jump or land on and bump a partner or foe. The partners bumped peg moves to the doorway their Castle’. The foe’s peg goes back. “Home’ and they must start over. If you cannot play, you discard a card and draw another card and the next player plays. When you move into your ‘Castle’, it must be by the number shown on the card you played. If you cannot enter using a full card count, you pass up your ‘castle’ and continue moving around the board. SOME PLAY THAT YOU SIT AT YOUR CASTLE UNTIL YOU CAN ENTER. You cannot skip your tum. If you have any play, you MUST play
