How the game plays
- The youngest player starts the game
- He chooses a card numbered from 1 to 6
- He chooses a character from the card of the team he has chosen and moves him forward the corresponding number of squares
NB: Players can choose to move a character from their team, their partner or their opponent. It all depends on the color of the card they choose to play. - The turn is then passed to the player on his left and so on until a player manages to cross the finish line with his team
Note:
♦ You can use your bonus card before or after your character moves, even if it is not your turn yet
♦ Each player discards face up next to them all the cards they have played
♦ When you play as a team, your partner can use his or her bonus card to your advantage
♦ When all players have played their 6 cards, deal 6 new movement cards to each player again
♦ When all the movement cards have been played, group them together (with the Special card), shuffle them again, distribute 6 to each player and place the rest on the game board
♦ When all the characters on a team have crossed the finish line, that team’s move cards can still be used to move their teammate’s move card (except in a 3 player game)
The special squares
- Bonus Box
When a character lands on a bonus square, the owner of the character must draw a bonus card.
- Double Box
When a character lands on a “Rings and Spikes” double choice square, the player who moved the character chooses which side of the square to place him.
- Rings box
When a character starts his turn on a Ring square, the number on the card played is doubled.
- Spikes box
When a character starts his turn on a Peaks square, the movement number must always be equal to 1, even if the player plays a 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 movement card.
- Looping squares
When a character lands on a Looping square, he must move back to the nearest ordinary square. Looping squares must be crossed in one move
