a single piece can take any opponent piece and vice visa unless they are stacked stacking is when a piece lands on the same square so they can stack and move as one individual pieces stacks cannot be taken (unless you are playing Finkle's version which allows for bigger stacks to take smaller stacks).
also to get your pieces of the board you roll one dice to get the exact number you want.
The major flaw of this game is that it relies on luck in fact the major mechanic is luck. while luck it self is not a bad part of a game to much makes the game completely void of strategy. because the rules we played meaning stacks could not be destroyed made it so that any opportunity to stack was taken cause it is better to roll one die for 15 pieces than to roll a die 15 times for each piece. the game was changed first in to Tabula around the middle ages then in to the modern game backgammon with hopfully all the problems within this game fixed
