Initial Game Board
The object of the game is to get from one side of the board to the other by forming a continuous
connection of your game pieces. You can place your game pieces anywhere on the board. However, a
winning path can only contain game pieces that connect in front, back or on either side, not diagonal.
You cannot place game pieces on the white "star" spaces. Those are "wild card" spots for both players
to use.

1. Player One (Red) moves
Player One spins a 2 on the spinner and can place 2 game pieces. Notice how the player makes use of
the "Wild Card" spot (the white star). The Wild Card spot acts as a game piece for the player and
allows the player to advance further, as if they placed 3 game pieces
|
| |
 |
2. Player Two (Blue) moves
Player two spins a 1 and can place 1 game piece. Player Two also makes use of the "Wild Card" spot,
by placing their game piece next to it. It's effectively two places for player Two.

3. Player One moves
Player One spins a 3 and places 3 red game pieces.
|
| |
 |
4. Player Two moves
Player Two spins a 3 and places 3 blue game pieces. Notice how Player Two attempts to block Player

7. Players continue to play.
Multiple rounds go by until the board is in this state.
Notice both Player One (red) and Player
Two (blue) blocked each other's forward movements at different points in the game.
Player Two (blue) is within two pieces of winning. Player One's (red's) best chance of winning
would be to go around Blue on the left side, but Player Two could easily block them.

 |
8. Player One moves
Player One spins an "S" and has to switch a red game piece on the board with a blue game piece on the
board.
Player One selects the blue game piece currently blocking the red player's winning path.
Player One swaps that blue game piece with a red game piece on the board.
|
| |
 |
9. Game Pieces Swapped
The game pieces Player One selected are swapped. The result is that Player One wins.
Player One was able to create a continuous path of red game pieces from one side of the
board to the other.

10. Winning Path
Player One won the game by creating a continuous path of game pieces from one side of the board to
the other.
Notice the path only connects adjacently. Game pieces have to touch forward, backward,
on the left, or right. Diagonal squares don't count.
