策略
Rosettes are safe squares
Land on them when possible for protection and extra rolls.
The central rosette is especially valuable since both players' pieces pass through it.
Consider whether to move advanced pieces or bring new ones onto the board.
Blocking opponent's pieces in the shared middle section can be advantageous.
Don't spread your pieces too thin
They become vulnerable to capture.
Balance between safe advancement and aggressive capturing based on board position.
