At the beginning of each round players are dealt 5 cards which they play in turns to move their tokens (or marbles) around the board. If at any time a token lands exactly on the field occupied by another token then the moved token replaces the resting one (which is placed back into the corresponding player's starting area). If a player on his turn has no cards he can play with his tokens (or which he can't play against the other players, like a 5, 10 or Queen in some variations) then he must discard his entire remaining hand and wait for the next hand to be dealt.
A starter is a card that allows a player to move a new token to the starting field. Aces, Kings and Jokers are starters.
A token at the starting field is immune to capture or swapping by an opponent, and additionally it creates a blockade. No players can pass a token that is on its starting field, either forward or backwards (with a 4).
Cards Effects: Aces: +1 or starter Fours: -4 Fives: +5 to token owned by another player Sevens: 7 times +1 which can be split among all tokens Eights: +8 or use the shortcut if the tile Tens: +10 or force a player to discard a card randomly Jacks: +11 or swap two tokens Kings: +13 or starter
To end the game, you need the exact count of fields to make it into the Home, and you need to fill the home from the top down. Tokens are not allowed to jump over other tokens within the home field.
Aside from a "Free for all" play style the game also supports a Two vs. Two vs. Two players, where Players on opposite sides of the board team up.
