Boloko is a Backgammon variant played on a track that folds back on itself to form a 5x5 grid, with walls defining the corridor. Pieces may move forward along the corridor or jump over a wall if 1 is rolled, adding a non-linear element and making rolls of 1 potentially very strong. Pieces may land on enemy singletons to pin them.

A player wins by reaching the track end of their colour with all pieces in a connected set (no bearing off phase).
