A Game for 2, 3 or 4 players.

OBJECT: To move six men into the center area of a player's color.

DIRECTIONS FOR PLAY:

1. Each player chooses a color and puts their six playing pieces on the matching color spaces on the outer ring of the playing board.

2. Red plays first, then blue, yellow and green. All plays are to the left of the first player, clockwise.

3. The playing pieces, or men, are moved one at a turn, one space at a time. They may be moved to the left, to the right, or toward the center --- NEVER diagonally or toward the outer ring.

4. To check an opponent and keep them from moving a man, a player may, on a regular move, place their man on an opponent's man. The man underneath cannot move until the player who checked them removes his man. When this happens, the man who was underneath MUST be moved back to a space of their color on the outer ring. Checking a man constitutes a turn. Returning a man to the outer ring also constitutes a turn).

5. Stars are safety zones. A man on a star, or on a space of his own color on the outer ring, cannot be checked.

6. The game ends when any player has their six men in the center area of their own color, or when no player can move. In that case, the player with the most men on their color in the center area is the winner.
