How to Set Up the Game

1. Labeling the Gameboard: Peel off the two name labels from the label sheet and apply them to the recessed area on opposite sides of the gameboard as shown in Figure 2 on page 3. Peel off the three blue dot labels and the three red dot labels from the sheet and attach them to the recessed area in the center of the Starting spaces as shown in Figure 2.

2. Labeling the Playing Pieces: Break off the 12 plastic playing pieces from the runner. Peel off the 12 Movement Pattern labels (6 red, 6 blue) from the label sheet and apply one label to the recessed area on the face of each piece as shown in Figure 1. Make sure the two legs on the underside of the piece are in a vertical position when you attach the label to its face.

   Figure 1: The playing piece has two legs on its underside, which must be in a vertical position. The label is applied to the recessed area on the face of the piece (the recessed area is marked as "Recessed Area on Face" in the figure).

3. You and your opponent each choose a playing piece color, either red or blue. Place the gameboard on a flat surface between you and your opponent so the three dots of your chosen color are directly in front of you. Place the six playing pieces of your color on your Rack space so the white circle on each piece is on the bottom as shown in Figure 2, below.

   Figure 2: The gameboard layout, labelled as follows: Red Player Sits Here; Red Dots on Red's Starting Spaces; Red's Rack Space (six Red playing pieces); Red's Entering Space; Red's Storage Bin; the 12 spaces of the Playing Area; Blue's Storage Bin; Blue's Entering Space; Blue Dots on Blue's Starting Spaces; Blue's Rack Space (six Blue playing pieces); Blue Player Sits Here; and the Name Label on each side.

How to Play the Game

1. Decide who plays first. Players alternate turns, always making one move per turn.

2. Basic Turn: on your turn, do ONE of the following:

   • A. Move a playing piece from your Rack space to your Entering space.
   • B. Or move a playing piece from your Entering space to its Starting space in the Playing Area.
   • C. Or move a playing piece already in the Playing Area to its next designated space as directed by the movement pattern of white dots on its face.

   ON EACH TURN, YOU MUST MOVE ONE OF YOUR PLAYING PIECES FROM ONE SPACE TO ANOTHER SPACE!

3. Rules of Movement:

   • A. You can move only your color playing pieces.
   • B. You can move only one playing piece per turn.
   • C. Two playing pieces cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Exception: you can stack up to three playing pieces on your Entering space.
   • D. A playing piece can pass over another playing piece to move to the next designated space of its movement pattern.
   • E. Always position your playing pieces with the white circle on its face toward you.

4. Entering a Piece into the Playing Area: it always takes two moves to enter a piece into the Playing Area. Here's how to do it.

   • A. Move the piece from your Rack space to your Entering space and your turn is over. PLEASE NOTE: pieces can be stacked up to three high on your Entering space.
