How to Play
🎲 Wimbo is a strategic 4-player board game where the first player to collect and deliver 4 diamonds to their collector point wins! Each player controls 2 Queens (move in all 8 directions) and 2 Rooks (move in 4 directions). Roll your colored dice to get a movement number (1, 2, 3) or trigger special actions. Move your pieces strategically to enter the treasury (center) and collect diamonds, then deliver them to your collector point (your corner). Capture enemy pieces by landing on them to send them back home and gain bonus turns. Use powerful special actions: Teleport to any safe cell, Reverse turn order, Freeze treasury for 2 turns, Block the next player, or gain 2 extra consecutive turns. Plan your moves carefully - safe havens protect your pieces, and you need to roll 3+ to exit your home base!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I win in Wimbo?
Be the first player to collect 4 diamonds from the treasury (center area) and deliver them to your collector point (your corner). You must enter the treasury to collect diamonds, then move back to your collector point to score them. The first player to deliver 4 diamonds wins the game!
What are the different pieces and how do they move?
Each player has 2 Queens and 2 Rooks. Queens move in all 8 directions (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal) - they're the most powerful pieces. Rooks move in 4 directions (horizontal and vertical only) - they're reliable for strategic positioning. Pieces can jump over others but cannot land on occupied squares except when capturing enemies.
What are the special actions and when should I use them?
There are 5 special actions: Teleport (move any piece to a safe cell instantly), Reverse (flip turn order completely), Freeze Treasury (lock treasury for 2 players' turns), Block (skip next player's turn), and Stacking (gain 2 consecutive turns). Use them strategically - save powerful actions like Reverse for critical moments, use Teleport to escape danger or reach the treasury quickly, and use Block to disrupt opponents' plans.
How do captures and bonus turns work?
When you land on an enemy piece, you capture it and send it back to their home base. Capturing enemies, entering the treasury, and delivering diamonds all grant you bonus turns, allowing you to make multiple moves in a row. Use these opportunities to advance your strategy quickly!
What are safe havens and protected zones?
Safe havens are green cells on the board that protect your pieces from enemy captures. Home bases and the treasury are completely protected zones where pieces cannot be captured. Use these strategically to protect your pieces and diamonds while planning your next moves.
Can I play Wimbo with friends or against the computer?
Yes! Wimbo offers multiple game modes: vs Computer (1 human player + 3 bots), 2-4 Players (mix of human and bot players), and Team-up modes for cooperative gameplay. You can play solo against AI opponents or invite friends for multiplayer matches.
How do I exit my home base?
You need to roll a 3 or higher on your dice to move pieces out of your home base. This adds strategic depth - you can't always exit immediately, so plan your moves carefully and use special actions if needed.
Is Wimbo free to play?
Yes! Wimbo is completely free to play online with no download required. Just open the game in your browser and start playing instantly on any device - desktop, tablet, or mobile phone.
