Petits Chevaux Small Horses

🎮 How to Play

Petits Chevaux (Small Horses) is a classic board game blending strategy and luck. Start by rolling the dice to move your horses out of the stable and around the board. The goal is to guide all four horses safely to the colorful center—your "home" space. Land on opponents’ horses to send them back to their stable! Watch out for safe zones and plan moves carefully to block rivals. The first player to get all horses home wins. Simple yet addictive, this game rewards smart planning and a bit of dice luck!

🕹️ Controls

• Desktop (Keyboard): Click or tap to roll dice and drag horses to move. Arrow keys navigate menus.
• Mobile/Touchscreen: Tap to roll, swipe or tap horses to move them. Pinch to zoom if needed.
• Shortcuts: Spacebar quick-rolls dice (if allowed). Double-click/tap confirms moves faster.
• Menu Controls: Esc key or on-screen buttons pause/access settings.

🎯 Objectives

Your mission is to race all four horses from the stable to the center home space before opponents do. Short-term, focus on freeing horses quickly and creating safe paths. Long-term, strategize to block rivals while advancing your own pieces. Winning requires balancing aggressive moves (knocking opponents back) with defensive play (keeping horses safe). The game ends when one player’s horses all reach home—patience and tactical rolls are key!

💡 Pro Tips

• 🎪 Master the Start: Prioritize moving one horse far ahead to pressure opponents early.
• ⚡ Safe Zones Matter: Park horses on safe spaces (usually marked) to avoid being sent back.
• 💰 Stack Smartly: Multiple horses on one space block opponents—but don’t clump too close to home.
• 🏆 Late-Game Sprint: Once close to home, use exact rolls to finish fast; wasted moves hurt!
• 🎲 Dice Math: Learn probabilities—6s free new horses, while mid-range numbers (3-5) are ideal for advancing.
