About the game
Each player receives four stones in one color and places them in the corner of the board corresponding to his/her color. There are two phases. In the first phase the players place bridges. First the start player places a bridge and then the next player, until all the bridges have been placed on the board. In the second phase the players roll the die and move their stones along the bridges. Each round only one stone can be moved. The stones can be placed on free spaces only. The players have to move the exact amount of spaces indicated by the die. If a player can't move, he/she has to roll the die three times. If the player doesn't roll a 1 or 6, his/her turn is over. When the player rolls a 1 or 6, he/she can remove a bridge and place the bridge wherever he/she wants. The first player to move his/her four stones to the other side of the board wins the game.

Questions and answers
Crossado supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Crossado is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Crossado for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Crossado has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Crossado belongs to these categories: Dice and Racing. Its main mechanics are Roll / Spin and Move, Dice Rolling, and Tile Placement.
