How to Play
• The aim is for one player to have the most
money.
• Each player begins the game with three
bundles and their pawn is placed on the
payday.
• The first player rolls the dice and moves
their pawn to the spot that matches the
number on the dice.
• Each player will follow the directions on
his/her occupied space and receive or pay
sticks accordingly.
First Roll
“Chance” Space
• If a player lands on a “chance” space,
he/she will follow the directions in the
middle of the game board.
• They will need to Roll The Dice, then
find the correct number in the box.
• The player with the most “sticks” at the
end of the game wins.
