.BENJI GAME ... RULES
Return to Benji Listing

1. Each player chooses a colored wooden token and places it at start.

2. The pack of cards is placed face down in a convenient place.

3. Each player throws the dice in turn. The player with the highest throw goes first and play continues in a clockwise direction.

4. Each player throws two dice. The sum of the two numbers indicate the number of squares the token is moved.

5. If the token lands on a numbered square, the turn is complete.

6. If the token falls on a picture square, the following rules apply:

(A) Dice Square - the player immediately has a second turn.
(B) Traffic Light Square - the player misses one turn.
(C) Fierce Dog Square # 53 - the player goes back to start.
(D) All other pictures - the player takes a card and follows the instructions on that card, then returns the card face down to the bottom of the deck.
(E) After complying with the instructions on the card, the turn is then complete even if the token is moved onto a picture square --- except for the Traffic Lights or Fierce Dog squares, in which case either 6(B) or 6(C) rules listed above are used.
(F) If a player draws a card which allows them to bring a player back, this card may be kept until the player chooses to use it, then it is returned to the bottom of the deck.

7. The winner is the first player to land in the center of the board with an EXACT throw. If a player throws a number higher than the exact number to finish, the token is counted onto the Finish square # 64 and the remainder of the count is used to move back onto the road. Next turn the player goes forward again. If a player is past the last Bone square on the track (square # 59), only one die is used.
