Jon Gets Games – explanation and tutorial run through of a whole game

Tips:

When you bust, you can move some of your gray non-active dice into the discard pile (a good idea)
The first third of the game (before you pass the third red line) is a good time to buy dice – then the final 2/3rds of the game it is good to try for feet to “win” the race
Two players can be on the same square at the same time.
The cards that go with each of the dice colors vary significantly so it is hard to has a set strategy for every game you play … you need to see what the dice abilities are at the start of the game to see what you think you might like to do.
There are four different boards and each will vary how a game will play out
When you hit the finish area and you still have more feet moves to use, keep going past the finish line … if two (or more) people hit the finish area on the same turn who ever goes the furthest past the finish line wins. If it is a tie, technically the rules say to run an entire lap again with all players to find the winner. (might want to say who ever has the most money wins the tie)
The little sqiggly V or Y icon means “roll dice”
