The family race game
Each player has four tokens waiting in their corner. Roll a 6 to bring a token onto the board, then move clockwise by the number you roll. Land on an opponent’s token to send it back home – except on the starred safe squares and the starting squares. After going once round the board, tokens turn into their own coloured home column; the exact number is needed to finish.
A 6, a capture or bringing a token home earns another roll – but three 6s in a row lose the turn. Play with 2, 3 or 4 players; each colour can be a person or the computer, so you can play alone, with friends on one tablet, or both.
How to use
- Choose the number of players and set each colour to person or computer.
- Press Roll. With a 6 you can bring a new token out.
- Tap a bouncing token to move it. If only one move is possible, it moves by itself.
- Bring all four tokens to the centre to win.
Ideas for using it
- Family evening. four players, one tablet, everyone takes a turn.
- Solo. you against three computer players.
- Kids. two players – quick games and lots of captures.
- Tip. park tokens on safe squares when opponents are close behind.
