About the game

Not to be confused with the Sniggle game that is in the Sly set, this game is a race. A roll and move race game where you must get your 4 pawns, numbered 1 through 4, into the corresponding numbered spaces on the other side of the board. Each player tries to maneuver their four coloured pieces to their ending positions before the others. On your turn, you roll two dice and assign each die to a separate piece; doubles get you an extra turn. You can only move sideways and forward. If you get landed on by your opponent, your pawn gets sent back to the start. Spaces of your own color are safe, where you cannot be landed upon. First player to get all 4 of their pawns across the board wins. The endgame zone channels all pieces through a narrow passage, increasing the likelihood of mayhem.
