INSTRUCTIONS

Players start with a token - which represents each team - in the initial square and take turns rolling the die. The highest roll goes first. The tokens move according to the numbering on the board. If, at the end of a move, a player lands on a square where a ladder begins, they move up it to the square where it ends. If, on the other hand, they land on a square where a snake's tail begins, they move down it to the square where its head ends. If a team lands on a question mark, they must answer the question. Then follow the instructions on the card. First team to the end 1st place for their team, and then based on order 2nd, 3rd, 4th are scored. If the game is not won by the end of STAAR Games, 1st-4th will be determined by order on board. 1st= 20 points 2nd= 15 points 3rd = 12 points 4th = 10 points
