Each player sets his 4 pawns on the starting spaces (1-4) of his color. Movement is determined by a die. On the roll of a 6 a pawn may be moved from a starting space. On spaces 1-9 pawns of the same color may not pass each other by.
On the red spaces pawns may be thrown out if a pawn of another color is arriving. Thrown out pawns are set on space 9 and the player has to pay 1 coin into the jackpot (2 coins if his pawn already stands on space 9). Pawns on yellow spaces are safe, but their player has to pay 1 coin to another player arriving with a pawn on the same space. Pawns of the same color may never stand on the same space, expect for space 9.
The first player to get his 4 pawns around the game board and back to spaces 1-4 wins the game and the jackpot.
