About the game
This game uses 102 cards. The cards are numbered 1-100 and there is also a Start and Finish card. These cards are shuffled and dealt face up, showing the either a number 1-100 or Start or Finish. Each player puts their piece on the Start card. During the turn, a player roll their 6-sided die (one side has a five on it, the rest are blank) up to twice. If the first roll is a 5, they advance their piece onto the next card in the sequence (players go from the Start card to 1, then through to 100, then onto Finish card), otherwise they do not advance. If the player rolls a 5 on the first roll they then attempt a second die roll, otherwise there isn't a second die roll. On the second roll, the player fails to roll a 5, their piece goes back to the Start card, otherwise on a second roll of a 5, the piece stays on the space it advanced to. If a player lands on a space containing an opponent's piece, both pieces go back to the Start space. The object of the game is to be the first player to reach the Finish space. Included in the rules are variants for match play and also a longer game. The game reached position #4 on the Hotness list for games on BoardGameGeek on September 2012.
