Capture When a piece lands on a single opposing piece, the capture follows the classic backgammon rule (the opponent’s piece is placed on the bar). As with regular moves without capture, the player must invent sentences using the words associated with both pieces. 5. Re-entering Pieces When a piece must re-enter the game: - The player rolls the dice to find an available space. - Upon re-entry, they must create a short sentence using the word that refers to the animal or natural phenomenon shown on that piece. 6.
