You play by drawing a card and moving a pawn. Tap to draw, and the card tells you how you can move. Different cards allow different moves, so read what you've drawn.

The cards do more than just advance you:

• Special cards each have their own effect: a 1 or 2 starts a pawn out, a 4 moves backward, and an 11 can swap one of your pawns with an enemy's, among others.
• Bumps and slides shape the race. Landing on an enemy pawn sends it back to start, and slides carry your pawn forward along a track, bumping every pawn in the way, friend or foe.

Because moves come from cards, you sometimes have to choose between several options or make a move you'd rather not.

The first player to get all their pawns home wins. Against the computer, the difficulty rises across eight levels.

Tips

• Use the slides to your advantage. Slides launch your pawn forward and bump everyone in the path, so landing at the start of a slide can gain you ground and send rivals home in one move.
• Save the swap and backward cards. Cards like the 11 swap and the 4 backward are situational, so holding them for the right moment, like swapping into a better position, gets more value than playing them the instant you draw.
• Bump rivals close to home. Sending an enemy pawn back to start is most devastating when that pawn is near its finish, so target the pawns that have the most to lose.
• Weigh your move options. Since cards can move different pawns different ways, think about which pawn benefits most, rather than automatically advancing the one nearest home.
• Keep your pawns spread out. Advancing several pawns rather than racing one keeps you resilient to bumps and gives you more choices when a card only helps certain pawns.
• Watch for a backward shortcut. Moving a pawn backward can sometimes land it near a slide or close to home the short way, so a 4 isn't always a setback if you use it cleverly.
