Gameboard • Deck of cards (no 6s or 9s) • 16 Pawns

(4 each of 4 colors)

SETUP

Choose four pawns of the same color. Put all four on that

color START space. (For a faster gameplay, place three of

your pawns on your START. Put the fourth pawn on the circle

just below your START.)

Shuffle the card deck and place it facedown on the “Place

Pack Here” on the gameboard to form the Draw pile.

Pick a player to go first. Movement is clockwise around the

board (unless instructed otherwise!) and play passes to the left.

GAMEPLAY

Note:

If on your

first

turn you do not have a pawn on the track,

and you do not draw a card that lets you start a pawn, you must

forfeit (skip) your turn.

On

all turns

, take the top card on the Draw pile and move

accordingly (see “The Cards,” right) if you can. Place the card

faceup on “Discard Here.”

To Start a Pawn

To move a pawn from your START out onto the track, you

must

draw

either a

or a

. If it is a

, do as it says, then draw

again and move if possible.

any other cards!

Jumping and Bumping

You may JUMP over your own or another player’s pawn that’s

in your way, counting it as one space. BUT...if you land on a

space that’s already occupied by an opponent’s pawn, BUMP

that pawn back to its own color START space.

Moving Backward

The

4

and

10

cards move you

backward

. If you have successfully

moved a pawn backward at least two spaces beyond your own

START space, you may,

on a subsequent turn

, move into your

own SAFETY ZONE without moving all the way around the

board.

Notes:

Two pawns of the same color may never occupy the same space.

If your only possible move would make you land on a space already

occupied by one of your own pawns, you forfeit your turn.

If at any time you cannot move, you forfeit your turn.

But if at any time you can move, you must move, even if it’s to

your disadvantage.

If you run out of cards in the Draw pile, shuffle the Discards

to form a new draw pile.

WINNING

If you get all four of your pawns HOME first, you win! If you

play again, the winner goes first.

THE BOARD

Home:

You must bring all four of your pawns into HOME by

exact count! Once HOME, do not move that pawn again for the

rest of the game.

Slide:

Regardless of which card

sent you there, any time you land

by exact count on the triangle at

the beginning of a SLIDE that is

not

your own color, slide ahead to

the end and BUMP

any

pawns in

your way—including your own!—

back to their own START spaces.

If you land on a SLIDE of your

own color, don’t slide, just stay put

on the triangle.

Safety Zone:

Only you

may enter your own color

SAFETY ZONE. All other rules

apply. No pawn may enter its

SAFETY ZONE by a backward

move; however, a pawn may move

backward out of its

SAFETY ZONE and on

subsequent turns move back into

the ZONE as cards permit.

Safety Zone Entry Space:

When moving along

the outside track, you may not move your pawn

forward beyond your own SAFETY ZONE entry.

However, you may pass the entry space on a backward

move (

4

or

10

card) or as the result of a “SORRY!”

or “switch” (

11)

card played against you.

Start a Pawn Here:

If you’ve drawn a

1

card, take a pawn

from START and put onto this circle; your turn ends. If you

draw a

2

, move a pawn out AND draw again! You may not have

two pawns on an entry circle at the same time. If another player’s

pawn is on your entry circle, BUMP it back to its own START.

THE CARDS

4

backward

4 spaces.

5

Notes:

You may not use

7

to start a pawn.

If you use part of the

7

to get a pawn HOME, you

must be able to use the balance of the move for

another pawn.

8

Move one pawn forward 8 spaces.

10

Either move one pawn forward 10 spaces—OR move one

pawn

backward

1 space.

Move one pawn forward 11 spaces—OR switch any one of

your pawns with one of any opponent’s.

Notes:

You may forfeit your move if you do not wish to change

places and it is impossible to go forward 11 spaces.

You may only use

for pawns in play on the open track—not

at START, HOME or in a SAFETY ZONE.

If your switch landed you on a triangle at the beginning of

another player’s slide, slide to the end!

THE CARDS

(continued)

12

SORRY!

Take one pawn from your START, place it on

any space that is occupied by any opponent, and BUMP

that opponent’s pawn back to its START. If there is no

pawn on your START or no opponent’s pawn on any

space you can move to, you forfeit your move.

VARIATION—Team rules

RED is always YELLOW’s partner, and GREEN is

always BLUE’s.

All regular rules apply and you may move—or BUMP!

—your own or your partner’s pawn in accordance with the

card drawn.

BUMP it back to its START!

your team’s pawns.

If you drew a

use that card for any of your team’s eight pawns.

WINNING:

The first partnership to get all eight pawns

into their respective HOMEs wins the game.

VARIATION FOR ADULTS—

Play for points

All regular rules apply

except:

Shuffle the deck and deal five cards facedown to

each player. Place the rest of the deck facedown on

“Place Pack Here.”

On your turn, select one card from your hand and move

according to its instructions. Discard it and draw a new

card to bring your hand back up to five cards.

If none of the cards in your hand allows you to move,

discard any one card and draw a new one. Your turn ends;

do not move a pawn until your next turn.

The first player to get all four pawns HOME wins.

on HOME. The WINNER also scores as follows:

for each opponent’s pawn

not

in its HOME

25 points

if no opponent has more than two pawns HOME
