4. Instructions
 Up to 4 people can play the game.
 Each player takes a colored quadrant of the board
 Any player can start the game
 Each player has a maker to indicate progress on the board
 To start the game, the die is rolled (with each player taking turns):
 If you play a 1 or 6, you remain in the same position (both on the board and in your physical
state)
 If you play a 3 or 5, you stand up and earn just 1 point (move your marker one cell forward
following the arrow)
 If you play a 2 or 4 you sit down and earn 2 points (move the marker two cells forward
following the arrow)
 Progression is made row after row and the value of the cells (on which the markers
rest on with each move) is recorded and added as progression is made.
 When any player reaches the white cell of his quadrant first, he is considered to have
finished the game(as the winner irrespective of his total points)
 The total points of each player is recorded at this point to grade the other players
position.
 The winner is the first person who reached the white cell.
