The winning strategy in Trouble is to maximize the number of pieces that you have in play, while minimizing your opponents' pieces and limiting the exposure of your own pieces to attack.

I think this is the best possible way to accomplish that:

• If you rolled a 6:
  • If you still have a piece in the home area:
    • Move that piece into the start position.
  • Else if you have a piece in the start position:
• Move it out of the start position.
