STRATEGIES
As you play SPACES, you will begin to see the board in several ways. The yellow rings in these drawings show the zones of distance to the center of the board. By seeing the board in this way, you can quickly asses if you have rolled a number that can get you though and out of the center hexagon. The smallest number you can roll to do this is 4.
The board may also be viewed as linked rings of 6 spaces. Being that you may move in any direction within one field (unless you are changing color), there may be two numbers that can effect the taking of your opponents piece.
​
The picture to the right shows the configuration of only one of the three playing fields. Notice the continuation at the edge of the playing field.
During game play, try to stay within good position that will allow you to pass through the center hexagon. It is important to maintain more than one piece during a bout so that you will have a backup piece to continue play.
I HOPE THAT YOU WILL ENJOY THIS FAST AND FUN GAME. YOU WILL LEARN MORE ABOUT IT AS YOU PLAY AND YOUR SPEED AND SKILLS WILL INCREASE.
