quite careful. When your piece lands on one of the other person‟s piece, you are taking it
off the board and you send it back to the beginning. You are winning by getting all your
pieces to the end off the board. Some people are preferring chess, but I am not
understanding that game. Right now, I wait to have a game with my brother. He does his
homework. I usually win, so I think he doesn‟t want to play a game with me!‟
