See the idea in action
When only one die can be used and either is individually playable, use the larger die. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.
A common point of confusion
An oversized bear-off requires no piece farther from the exit. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
