How to play

  1. Play with 2–4 players. Everyone rolls the die; the highest roll goes first, then play continues clockwise.
  2. Each player places their game piece anywhere on the board and draws 3 movement chips.
  3. On your turn, choose one of your 3 chips, place it on your current square, and move according to that chip.
  4. A placed chip remains on the board for the rest of the game. No player may land on that square.
  5. Only Move three may jump over another player or a placed chip, and it must land on an empty square.
  6. After moving, draw a replacement chip so you again hold 3.
  7. If you have no legal destination with the chips in your hand, you are trapped and out of the game.
  8. The last player still able to make a legal move wins.
