The players have to get their 4 pawns into the blue center space (heaven). Movement is dertermined by a die. The 5th pawn is called "hellhound" and is placed on the big ringed space of it's own color to guard the neighbouring hell of the same color. Enemy pawns may be captured while moving on the outher ring of the game board and are placed on the hell-space of the active player. The hell-spaces are ringed by 7 smaler spaces of the same color. These are called hell-yards. pawns caught in hell may be rescued by another pawn, that enters hell through the hell-yards. It's the hellhounds task to prevent this. Pawns that are caught while moving on the inner ring aren't sent to hell but have to start from the beginning.
