About this game

Each player has a number board, a die cup, a die and 6 chips. The boards have squares numbered 1 - 96 in a regular but non-sequential pattern. There are 6 blank squares at the top and bottom of the boards. Each board is identical. Each player starts with 1 chip on each of the 6 bottom squares of their board. The object is to be the first player to get all your chips to the top 6 squares. On your turn, you roll your die. You can then move one of your chips in one of three ways: 1) Move the chip to the corresponding number on your board or 2) Move the chip orthogonally the number of squares indicated on the die or 3) Add or subtract the number on the die from the number on the square the chip is currently on. Then move the chip to the square with the corresponding total. One one chip can occupy a square.
