The PipQuest cast

Each friend shows you one idea by how they act. Meet them all and see how the ideas fit together.

  1. Peglegra the Bold The brave forward-run — commit the piece and trust the dice
  2. Tandem the Careful The blot / safety in pairs; a lone piece is exposed, paired pieces are safe
  3. Bulwark the Steady Making points / building a prime; a wall of your own points blocks the opponent
  4. Rebound the Bright Re-entering from the bar; when hit and sent home, find the open door and come back
  5. Holdfast the Patient The anchor / back game; hold a safe base deep in enemy waters when behind
  6. Dashell the Swift The running game; when ahead, flee for home and avoid contact
  7. Chompus the Great The multi-hit chain — one hit is luck, three is a chain that sends opponents home
  8. Pipp the Sharp Pip counting; count how far each side must travel to know who's really ahead
  9. Windward the Wise The doubling cube — raise the big sail when the tide's truly with you, bow out gracefully when it's not
  10. Tuckett the Tidy Bearing off; the endgame of taking pieces off smoothly, wasting nothing, leaving no gaps
