3 inverted, 1 as it is - Move 3 squares.2 as it is, 2 inverted - Move 2 squares.For Ashta, 2 tokens and for Chamma 1 token can be brought back. When most of the tokens are dead, it is possible to bring back the dead tokens. If a player has cut once, all the coins can move into the inner circle, not necessary for every coin to cut opponent.
If a player throws either a Chamma or a Ashta three times consecutively during his turn, he is out, and cannot use any of the moves. During an extra turn, either the same token or some other token can be played. When a player cuts an opponent’s token, he gets an extra turn to play. Whenever a Chamma or a Ashta (4 or 8) is obtained during a throw of cowry shells, the player gets a bonus turn to throw the cowries. The first player to get all his tokens into home wins the game. Each token finishes its race when it manages to get into the home. Otherwise they keep circling around until at least one of the tokens of opponent is killed by them. However the tokens enter the inner squares, only when at least one of the opponent's tokens are killed. When a token reaches the square left of its home square, it further moves up into the inner squares and now moves in clockwise direction. In crossed boxes, killing is not possible. The killed token returns to its starting home square and has to go round all over again. If a player’s token lands on a square occupied by opponent’s token, then the opponent’s token is "killed" and the player gets an extra turn to play.
The tokens travel anti-clockwise in outer squares, clockwise in inner squares and finally lands up in central square (home), with a throw of Ashta or Chamma. Since each cowrie carry 2 points, 2 tokens for Chamma and 4 tokens for Ashta are entered on the board. The tokens enter the board, only after a Chamma or Ashta is thrown.
