Players follow Pinocchio's adventures around the game board, trying to be the first to reach Pinocchio's dream and become a real boy.
Players spin the spinner and either go back or forward a number of spaces, or draw a card. If a player draws an adventure card, she announces it and lays the card face down on the corresponding adventure on the board, and moves ahead 3 spaces.
If the player draws a nose card, Pinocchio has told a lie, and player must go back 3 spaces, UNLESS she chooses to bluff, by claiming it as an adventure card, and placing it face down on an adventure space. If challenged by another player and caught out in a lie, she must go back 5 spaces as a penalty. If challenged falsely, she may go forward 5 spaces.
First player to the finish wins the game.
