• Player cannot move his ring from "up" to "down" position.
• Player cannot move his ring from "up" to "safe" position.
• Player cannot move opponent's ring from "safe" position.

• Once player passes turn to the opponent, all of opponent's rings in "up" position are automatically moved to "safe" position.

Player can roll dice as many time as he wants as long as after each roll he is able to make move for both dice values. If that is not possible, then turn is passed to the opponent.
