Step 1 · Points work together
A made point blocks one landing spot. Several made points in a row become a prime, which can hold an opposing checker back. The highlighted points show the wall you will build — your 6-point is already made.

Step 2 · Prime-building roll
This lesson uses 4-2 because it can make another strong home-board point from the opening position.
Tap roll to reveal 4-2.
The roll: 4-2

Step 3 · Use the 4
Start the point with the 4. One checker moves from the 8-point to the 4-point.
Use the 4: tap the highlighted checker on the 8-point, then tap Land here on the 4-point.
The roll: 4-2
The move: 8/4
Good. The first checker is on the 4-point.
Common mistake: Use the checker on the 8-point and land on the highlighted 4-point.

Step 4 · Use the 2
Now cover it with the 2. Two checkers on the 4-point make another block in your home board.
Use the 2: tap the highlighted checker on the 6-point, then tap Land here on the 4-point.
The roll: 4-2
The move: 6/4
The 4-point is made. Your home board is harder to enter.
Common mistake: Only the 2 remains. Move from the 6-point to cover the checker on the 4-point.

Step 5 · Why this shape matters
With the 6-point and 4-point made, you are building a wall near home. Add the 5-point later and it becomes a powerful three-point block.

What you learned
You can now build a new made point and understand how connected points become a prime.
