David Wacker 9/22/11 Assignment 4: Challenge; Chapter 6, number 2
16/24 tiles
24 tokens
4 pawns
4 dice
There are four tiles set up at the start, each with the grid facing up, and placed adjacent to one another, and can be placed in any combination of ways as shown:
Before play begins, players take turns and place the tiles with the grid facing up, until there is a game board of at least a three by three square.
The players then each put their pawn on a tile, so that no two pawns occupy the same tile.
On a player’s turn he or she may place a token. The token placed must match the suit of his or her pawn, and may only be placed in a small square, and not along a line or on an intersection between tiles or lines.
After all tiles have been placed, players may move their pawns from one end of the grid to the other, but only along tokens. A player rolls a die, again corresponding with his or her suit, and moves as far as they have rolled. The players may only move to and from tokens corresponding to his or her suit. If the token is in a diagonal, or more than one space from the token the pawn is currently on, then the player must roll a two or more, based on how far the token is. The player to reach the end first is the winner.
