If a player gets one or more pieces into the pipe, an opposing player that lands on the end of that pipe can, on their next go, declare "suckback". The player then rolls the dice and if one of the numbers on the dice, or the sum of both, is the same as the number of spaces the other piece is up the pipe, it is returned to its base. If the number is missed then he moves one square preventing multiple attempts at a suckback.
