Game DirectionsThe goal of the game is to reach the Dangerous Diamond Cave first and answer
all three questions correctly before any other players reach the cave and save the heart.
To play the game you have to first pick a game piece player. Then, everyone must roll a dice and whoever gets the highest number goes first. Turns then proceed counter-clockwise. The player must first roll a dice and move however many spaces the dice indicates unless the player lands on a green space before they move all their spaces. The green space indicates a challenge. A challenge includes picking out a question and answering it. If you do not answer the question correctly, you must then stay at that green space and wait until your next turn. The next turn you must pick and answer another question. Continue to repeat this step until the player has given a correct answer. Once the player has given a correct answer they may proceed to roll a dice on the next turn. Beware of the danger spaces where the player will follow the directions on a given space only if the player lands directly on the danger space. Once players reach the last space and get to Dangerous Diamond Cave, the players must answer three questions correctly to advance and save the heart.
To win the game you have to advance to Dangerous Diamond Cave and save the heart.
