Every player selects a Moth Pawn. Place the Moth Pawns at the beginning of the Game Board.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nThe player who rolls the highest number on the numbered dice goes first. <\/strong>Play proceeds in a clockwise direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGameplay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
By rolling the die\/dice, players must try to get their moths the closest to the Lamp without touching it. Becoming the closest moth will award the most points, however, moths that touch the Lamp will die. Additional points are earned by collecting\u00a0 Light Orbs, which can be traded for more points at Trading Posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Your Turn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Determine if you will KEEP PLAYING<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Before you officially begin your turn, you MUST DECIDE if you are going to continue playing if you are close to the Lamp. REMEMBER: if your moth touches the Lamp, it will die and you will be disqualified. Players MAY NOT change their decision after they have chosen to roll the die. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Roll the Lamp State Die<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Roll the Lamp State Die to determine the state of the Lamp during your turn (on\/off). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- When ON is rolled<\/strong> on the Lamp State Die, turn the Lamp on (or leave it on if it already was). From here, your turn will proceed by rolling 2 numbered dice.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- When OFF is rolled<\/strong> on the Lamp State Die, turn the Lamp off (or leave it off if it already was). From here, your turn will proceed by rolling 1 numbered die.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Roll the Numbered Die\/Dice<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Based on the state indicated on the Lamp State Die, roll 1-2 dice to determine how many spaces your Moth will move. Move your Moth Pawn the number of spaces indicated on the die\/dice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Follow the Space\u2019s Actions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Based on the space where you landed, follow the instructions for that specific space in the Board Spaces section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Board Spaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are 3 different types of spaces on the Game Board: Light Orbs, Trading Posts, and Hazard Spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Light Orb Spaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Light Orb Spaces allow players to collect Light Orbs that can be traded for items at Trading Posts. Roll 1 Die <\/strong>to determine how many Light Orbs you collect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- IF YOU ROLL 1-3 <\/strong>on the die: Collect 1 Light Orb<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- IF YOU ROLL 4-6 <\/strong>on the die: Collect 2 Light Orbs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Orbs are worth 1 point at the end of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trading Post Spaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Trading Post Spaces allow players to trade their Light Orbs for various light-up objects. When you land on a Trading Post Space:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- First, draw 3 Trading Post Cards<\/strong> from the Trading Post Card deck.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Second, select<\/strong> 1 Trading Post Card <\/strong>that you would like to purchase, if any.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Third, to purchase the card<\/strong>, return the number of Light Orbs indicated on the Trading Post Card to the pile of Light Orbs.\n
\n- The number of Light Orbs you pay is indicated by the state of the Lamp.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Finally, return all non purchased Trading Post Cards to the bottom of the deck.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Trading Post Cards are worth varying amounts at the end of the game. The amount of points that a Trading Post Card is worth is indicated on the card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hazard Spaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

End of the Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Players DECIDE the end of the game for themselves. Players must decide before each turn if they want to continue for the chance to get closer to the Lamp and earn more points. REMEMBER: A player is ELIMINATED from the game if they touch the Lamp. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen all players have decided to stop playing or have been otherwise eliminated, points are tallied. The player with the most points wins. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Award the 4 Survival Achievement Cards to the players according to how close they got to the lamp.\n
\n- 1st goes to the closest, 4th goes to the player farthest away, etc.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- ONLY award achievement cards for the amount of players you have at the end of the game. For example, if you have 4 players but 1 player got eliminated, award 3 Survival Achievement Cards.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- In the event of a tie, whoever rolls the highest on the dice gets the Achievement Card of higher points.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Count how many Light Orbs you have. Each Orb is worth 1 point.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Add the points from your purchased Trading Post Cards.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Subtract 1 point for every Hazard Space Card you have.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If after tallying all of these points, there is a tie, the winner is the closest player to the Lamp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
