The first player to be back home wins. The game is diceless: players choose how many cases they move, from 1 to 8, but they can not chose the last number moved by the opponent or 9 minus that number.

The game is based on Lewis Carroll s Arithmetical Croquet, rethemed. —description from the designer Published on History Kids, italian edition, issue #1.
