Portuguese term or phrase: Casas
Estou vertendo as regras de um jogo chamado Espiral Química para o inglês. O termo casas é citado diversas vezes. A tradução normal (xadrez, damas, ludo) seria "squares".
Porém, estou achando estranho porque o tabuleiro só tem círculos. Todas as casas são redondas.
Pensei em "spots", mas tirar seis nos dados e "move six spots" fica meio estranho também.
Alguma alternativa?
Obrigado!

"Roll the dice. During your turn, roll the dice and move the playing piece the same number of **spaces** as the number you rolled."
