The legend says that buried deep within a mysterious treasure chest lies a precious treasure just waiting to be discovered. But here’s the catch: danger is lurking around every corner.

So gather your courage, set your sail, and let the winds of destiny guide you towards the treasure. The race is on, and I have complete faith that you can emerge victorious. Best of luck, my fearless explorer!

Getting Started!

Let’s begin by setting up the game! You can follow these simple steps:

1. Put the main board in the middle of the play area.
2. Choose two tokens of your favorite color.
3. We’ll play the game in rounds, so decide how many rounds you want to play. Three or more rounds are recommended for the best experience!

Now that we’re all set up, let’s dive into the exciting world of this game!

Welcome to the Exciting World of Gameplay!

Let’s get started! To determine who goes first, we’ll roll the die. The player with the highest number on their roll will take the lead.

Now, in order to place your token on the green starting circle, there are two ways to qualify. You can either roll a double (that’s when the dice show the exact same number) or roll a two.

Once everyone is ready, each player will have a chance to put their token into play.

Once everyone has had their turn, the successful players will get another chance to roll the die. The number that comes up on the dice will determine how many spaces they can move on the board.

Now, here’s where it gets really interesting! Along the trail, there are special spots that can either boost your progress or send you back. These spots are called lucky spots and pitfalls.

When you land on a lucky spot, you’ll receive a special bonus! It will move you forward by a certain number of spaces, as indicated by the spot.

On the other hand, landing on a pitfall means you’ll have to move back the number of spots shown. It’s definitely a setback, but remember, anything can happen in this exciting game!

So, keep your eyes peeled for the green spots that move you forward and the red spots that send you back. They can make a big difference in your journey to victory!

If you happen to land on one of the yellow spots, you’re in luck! Those spots are turbo boosters. When you land on one, you get to surf along the arrow and move to a different spot on the board.

When you’re counting the number of spaces you need to move, remember that you can jump over other tokens on the board. So if there’s another player’s token in your way, don’t worry, just hop right over it!

But be careful! If you land on a spot where another player’s token is already sitting, your token gets “captured” and you have to go all the way back to the starting point.

Here’s an interesting strategy: if you manage to get two of your own tokens on the same spot, it’s called a block. No other player can move past that spot unless they roll a double or a 2, just like when the game starts.

In the world of coding, there is a fascinating concept known as a token. Tokens play a crucial role in the process of analyzing and interpreting code. They serve as building blocks or puzzle pieces that make up a larger picture. It’s remarkable how a simple combination of characters can create something so intricate and powerful.

Imagine you have a string of code, like a sentence, and you want to understand its meaning. That’s where tokens come in. They help us break down the code into smaller, more manageable pieces. Each token represents a specific element or action within the code. It’s like dissecting a sentence into words, phrases, and punctuation marks.

When it comes to tokens, there are different types, each with its own purpose. Some tokens represent keywords, like if or for, that indicate certain conditions or loops. Other tokens are symbols or operators, such as + or =, that perform mathematical or logical operations. There are also tokens for variable names, numbers, and strings.

Understanding tokens is essential for both writing and interpreting code. As a programmer, I need to know how to use tokens correctly to create meaningful and functional code. And if you’re interested in coding, tokens are a fundamental concept to grasp. They are the building blocks that allow you to bring your ideas to life and create useful programs.

So, next time you encounter a block of code, remember the power and significance of tokens. They are the key to unlocking the secrets of programming.

If you have two tokens, you can choose to use just one to add up the total of the double dice or use each token to count each number on the two dice.

As we get close to the end of the game, when we pass the number 50 (just landing on it doesn’t make us safe), our tokens can’t be captured if another player’s token lands on the same spot as ours.

When you’re almost at the End point, which is 60, you have to be strategic with your moves. You only have a limited number of spaces left to reach the end, so you can only move the number of spaces on any of your dice that doesn’t exceed the exact number needed. Let me give you an example: if you only need 4 spaces to get to the end point and you roll a 3 and a 2, you have two options. You can either use the 3 and forfeit the 2, or you can use the 2 and forfeit the 3. If you choose the latter, you’ll have to wait for your next turn and hope to roll the required number.

SCORING

The player who gets both their tokens to the end point first wins the round. It’s a race to the finish line!

The other players are also awarded 10 points for each token they have in play. So even if you don’t win the round, you can still earn some points!

END OF GAME

Each round ends as soon as a player gets both of their tokens to the end point. That’s when you know the game is over!

Hey there! Let me tell you about how this game works. The round will come to an end when we finish playing all the rounds we’ve planned. So, how do we decide who wins? Well, it’s pretty simple. The person with the fewest points from all the rounds is the winner.

Now, let’s talk about Bassey Onwuanaku. She’s an awesome Edugamer from Nigeria, and she has a really cool mission. Bassey wants to make learning fun for Nigerian kids, so she came up with the idea of a special educational games café. And guess what? She’s running it all by herself, using her own money! Bassey is all about creating a space where children can have fun while learning. Oh, and she’s really passionate about protecting wildlife too. That’s why she’s also interested in wildlife conservation. Bassey is also a talented board game designer, and she’s currently working on some educational games for kids.
