Game Board: With a track for each player’s pieces.
16 Pegs: Four pegs for each player, in different colors.
Pop-O-Matic Die Roller: Enclosed die roller in the center of the board.
Instructions: For setting up and playing the game.
Objective:
Be the first player to move all four of your pegs around the game board and into your finish area.
Setup:
Players: 2 to 4 players.
Initial Setup:
Each player chooses a color and takes four pegs of that color.
Place the game board on a flat surface.
Each player places their four pegs in their home base, the starting area of the same color.
Gameplay:
Starting the Game:
Each player pops the Pop-O-Matic die roller once. The player who rolls the highest number goes first.
Play proceeds clockwise.
On Your Turn:
Pop the Die: Press the Pop-O-Matic die roller to roll the die.
Moving a Peg Out:
To move a peg from your start area onto the track, you must roll a 6.
When you roll a 6, place one of your pegs onto the start space of your track and pop the die again.
Moving Around the Board:
Move your peg the number of spaces indicated by the die roll.
If you roll another 6, move one of your pegs out or move a peg already on the track and pop again.
Bumping Opponents:
If you land on a space occupied by an opponent's peg, that peg is sent back to their start area.
Winning the Game:
Move your pegs around the board track according to the die rolls.
To move a peg into your finish area, you must roll the exact number needed to get there.
Special Rules:
Rolling a 6: Grants an extra turn. You can move a peg out of the start area if it is not already on the track, or move any peg the rolled number of spaces and then pop again.
Exact Moves: You must roll the exact number needed to move a peg into the finish area. If you cannot do so, your peg remains in its current position until your next turn.
Winning the Game:
The first player to move all four of their pegs around the board and into their finish area wins the game.
Strategy Tips:
Utilize Sixes Wisely: Rolling a 6 is powerful. Use it to move pegs out of the start area or advance pegs strategically.
Block Opponents: Position your pegs to block opponents and send their pegs back to the start area when possible.
Plan Exact Moves: Keep track of the exact moves needed to get your pegs into the finish area to win the game efficiently.
