WIN

Be the first player to get all four of your pawns from your colors START to HOME.

SETUP

• 2-4 players 
• Choose your color and put all four pawns on that color’s START
• Shuffle the deck and place it face down on “Cards Here”
• Every player rolls the dice. The lowest number goes first, then continues clockwise.

THE BOARD

Home: You must get all four of your pawns to HOME by the exact count. Once in HOME, do not move the pawn again for the rest of the game.

Slide: Anytime you land on the triangle by exact count, and the SLIDE is your color, slide to the end and BUMP any pawn in your way (including your own). Stay put if you land on a SLIDE that is not your color.

Safe Zone: Only you can enter your SAFE ZONE. All rules still apply. You can not enter your SAFE ZONE by a backward move (you must go around the full board).  However, if you have no other moves, you must move your pawn backward out of the SAFE ZONE.

Start Pawn Here: If you draw a 1 or 2 card, you move a pawn from START and put it on this circle. If another player’s pawn is on your start circle, BUMP them back to their START. This is the only space you can have two of your pawns on at a time.

GAMEPLAY

On Your turn:

1. Draw a card from the deck
2. Follow the instructions on the card
3. Place the card faceup on the “discard Here”
4. If you run out of cards to draw, reshuffle the discard pile and take the top card

To Start a Pawn: To move a pawn from your START on the track, you must draw a 1 or 2 card. 

Jumping: You may jump over your own pawn or an opponent if it is in your way.

Bumping: If you land on a space or an opponent is in your way, you BUMP them back to their START.

Moving Backwards: If you draw a 4 or 10 card, you must move a pawn backward.

Note: Anytime you draw a card and have a pawn on the track, even if it is a disadvantage, you must make a move
