The layout of the board is such that it consists of twenty four narrow triangles that are called points. Each player has fifteen chips or stones in their chosen colour, which are placed along the board on the points. Points alternate as per colour and are classified into four quadrants consisting of six points each.

The quadrants are the player's home board and outer board. All points on the board are depicted by numbers and the board is divided into two halves by a line called the bar that runs along the centre of the board.

For each player on their side of the board, the outermost point is the twenty-fourth point while it is one point for the opponent player. To keep a record of the stakes, a doubling cube is used that displays the numbers 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64. To decide who starts the game, a single dice is rolled and whoever scores a higher number gets to start the game. The players now use both the dice to start the game and the numbers that show on both the dice tell the player how many moves to make on the board.
