Product Information

Each player requires a pen or pencil and a Bluffing Sheet (from the pad in the box). Each player writes their name at the top of their Bluffing Sheet. Lay out the board and assemble the spinner through the hole in the centre. Each player chooses a playing piece and puts it on the START segment on the board. Select the first person to read a card entry (known as The Dasher) by common consent. Playing the Game

There are many different variations of ways to break ties (when two or more players hit the end at the same time). One way to resolve a tie is to say all of the players that crossed the finish line won. Another way is to have a sudden death, tie-breaker round where whoever gets more points on the tiebreaker round wins. Now play the turn as described above. Use the same procedure for each subsequent turn.

Geoff Ryman wrote the completely intriguing "Was", released in 1992. I usually think I am the only one who has read it (but I hope not) but it DID deal with a real life Dorothy Gale.

In the story Dorothy was beaten silly by dear ol' Aunt Em and was sexually mishandled by Uncle Henry.

After everyone has moved their playing piece and spun the spinner if necessary the player to the Dasher's left becomes the new Dasher. He takes the next card in the box. The Category to be read is determined by which segment the leading player's (or players') playing piece is sitting on at the start of this new turn. Each player who submitted a close answer scores 2 points and moves their playing piece forward immediately. If a player's playing piece lands on a Spinner Segment, he spins the spinner and moves the number of spaces indicated.(See CENTRAL SPINNER).
