I assume you're supposed to roll a single die on the alternate turns
and just move one of your pieces as described for the first turn.
Though that's not explicitly stated, I think it's a reasonable
interpretation. The other possible option, skipping alternate turns,
would have everyone skip a turn at the same time, which would have
the same effect as nobody skipping a turn. :)
It seems a fiddly rule -- do you have a specific reason for doing it
every other turn instead of every turn? When you played, how did you
make sure you remembered which "every other turn" you're in? I
suppose a single global indicator would work, as everybody would be
doing it one round, then nobody, then everybody again.
