About the Game

In Borderline, players race to bring their pieces across the board to their home row.

The board is arranged in two 6x6 fields, separated by a two square "borderline". Rolling two dice, players bring pieces onto the board and move them, with each die being used to move one piece. Pieces may only move two spaces in a single direction before being forced to change direction. In this manner, the pieces will zig-zag across the board.

Landing on an opponent's piece will cause it to be returned to the holding area. Designated safe spaces will prevent this capture.

When a piece lands on a square in the borderline it is possible for that player to bring on an additional piece.

The first player to bring all 6 pieces to the home row is the winner. Alternatively, a player may win by removing all opposing pieces from the board.
