Board Game
A fast-paced board game where players race to move all their pawns from start to home while sending opponents’ pieces back to start by drawing cards and strategic moves

Objective

Be the first player to move all 4 of your pawns from your Start area to your Home space.

Supplies

  • 4 player pieces for each player
  • The deck of movement cards

  • A drink for each player

    Any drink will do, but we recommend a Rival's Party Play Pitcher

Setup

  1. Each player chooses a color and places 4 matching pawns in their color’s Start area
  2. Shuffle the deck of movement cards and place it face down on the center of the game board
  3. Whoever has the least number of toes goes first. In the case of a tie, you'll have to work out another way to determine who starts.
  4. Toast to the start of the game!

Gameplay

On your turn:

  1. Draw the top card from the movement deck and follow the instructions.
  2. You may only move pawns out of your Start zone and onto the board with certain cards (1, 2, or "Sorry")
  3. You may choose any of your pawns to move according to the card's rules.

Rules of movement:

  1. A pawn can not be moved out of "Start" unless you draw 1, 2, or "Sorry!".
  2. If you land on a space occupied by an opponent's pawn, move their pawn back to their "Start". They drink 2 sips.
  3. You can not land on a space already occupied by one of your pawns. You'll need to move a different pawn, if able.
  4. You can not choose to skip your turn. You must move according to the card you drew if able.
  5. You must land on your "Home" exactly. When your pawn makes it home, everyone else drinks 2 sips.
  6. If you are not able to move, drink 2 sips.
  7. If an opponent is in the middle of a slide, and you slide past them, they must finish half of their drink.
  8. If an opponent is in the middle of a slide, and you slide past them, they must finish half of their drink.

Card Meanings:

When your turn is completely over, after you've climbed or slid, check which column your on. If you're on a space that ends in:

  • 1: Move a pawn from Start or move 1 space forward. All other player's drink 1 sip.
  • 2: Move a pawn from Start or move 2 spaces forward. All other player's drink 2 sips. Draw again.
  • 3: Move 3 spaces forward.
  • 4: Move 4 spaces backward.
  • 5: Move 5 spaces forward. Everyone raises their glasses while you give a heartfelt toast.
  • 7: Move 7 spaces forward, or you may split the 7 spaces between two pawns.
  • 8: Move 8 spaces forward.
  • 10: Move 10 spaces forward, or 1 space backward
  • 11: Move 11 spaces forward or switch places with an opponent. You may not choose a pawn in your "Start" to switch places with an opponent's pawn. The player you switched with drinks 3 sips.
  • 12: Move 12 spaces forward.
  • SORRY: Replace one opponent’s pawn on the board with one from your Start. The opponent’s pawn goes back to their Start.

Cards 6 and 9 are not in the deck.
