Rules An exciting game for a number of players. Choose one player as Leader, the rest being Runners. Use a dice for scoring and counters or buttons for players. The Leader has first throw; a six entitles anyone to an extra throw. Don’t wait for a six to commence. If a Runner catches up to, or passes, the Leader, he or she wins and takes the place of the Leader next round. If the Leader reaches home without being caught he or she is the winner and the next player in turn is the Leader for the following round.
