- INSTRUCTIONS For Play :
- -----------------------
-
- Each player starts with 4 colored squares in their "Home
- Base" position. Each player's turn consists of a rolling 1
- die and selecting a play option.
-
- Either a one (1) or six (6) must be rolled to take a
- square from "Home Base" to 'Start' location marked by a
- single square on the playing board shaded with that player's
- color. To accomplish this, use the [B] play option. A
- square can be taken out at any time, as long as the 'Start'
- location is unoccupied by own colored square.
-
- Players roll their die in turn, moving squares which are
- on the playing board the exact number of places permitted by
- the value of the die. To accomplish this, use the [M] play
- option. If multiple squares of the same color are on the
- playing board, use the [S] option to blink the square that
- you wish to move. Keep in mind that squares are moved in a
- clockwise direction.
-
- Each time a six is rolled, this entitles the player to
- an additional turn, ONLY IF they were able to use the six
- just rolled.
-

-
- AGGRAVATION Rules (cont.)
-
-
- As play proceeds, a player may NOT JUMP OR LAND on a
- square of his own color. However, when a players move lands
- his square on space occupied by an OPPONENT's square, he may
- AGGRAVATE by replacing that square with his own. The
- AGGRAVATED player must then re-start the square from their
- "Home Base" position. Squares are ALWAYS subject to
- AGGRAVATION until in "Home Area". First player with all four
- squares in "Home Area" is the winner.
-
-
- TAKING A SHORT-CUT:
- ------------------
-
- The space in the center of the playing board is a
- "Short-Cut" (called Center Area in this version) and may be
- used only if the player's square is still in the line of
- spaces marked by their 'Start' position. Also, to use the
- Center Area, a player must roll the EXACT number which would
- place him in the Center Area space if they chose to use it,
- otherwise they must proceed around the board. When a player
- uses the Center Area, a one (1) must be rolled to EXIT and
- the square is then placed on the right side of their "Home
- Area". To accomplish this, use the [C] option to move the
- square IN or OUT of the Center Area.
-
-
- ** SPECIAL FEATURES: **
- -----------------------
-
-
- If a mouse is to be used, moving and selecting squares
- is a simple task to accomplish. To select a square that you
- wish to move, place the colored plus sign [+] over the
- appropriate square and click the left button. After this is
- done the mouse cursor will become a solid colored square.
- Then to move that square to its new board location, a player
- may either place it on the correct spot and then click the
- left button. Or just click the left button a second time and
- the computer will automatically move it for you. NOTE: There
- is one EXCEPTION to this rule. A player MUST place their
- square in the Center Area spot if they wish to use the Short
- Cut. If you accidentally selected the wrong square to move
- just press the right button and the plus sign [+] cursor will
- reappear.
