         To move all four of a player's squares around the board

    helps!

    INSTRUCTIONS For Play :
    -----------------------

         Each player starts with 4 colored squares in their "Home
    Base" position.  Each player's turn consists of a rolling 1
    die and selecting a play option.

         Either a one (1) or six (6) must be rolled to take a
    square from "Home Base" to 'Start' location marked by a
    single square on the playing board shaded with that player's
    color.  To accomplish this, use the [B] play option.  A
    square can be taken out at any time, as long as the 'Start'
    location is unoccupied by own colored square.

         Players roll their die in turn, moving squares which are
    on the playing board the exact number of places permitted by
    the value of the die.  To accomplish this, use the [M] play
    option.  If multiple squares of the same color are on the
    playing board, use the [S] option to blink the square that
    you wish to move. Keep in mind that squares are moved in a
    clockwise direction.

         Each time a six is rolled, this entitles the player to
    an additional turn, ONLY IF they were able to use the six
    just rolled.



    AGGRAVATION Rules (cont.)


         As play proceeds, a player may NOT JUMP OR LAND on a
    square of his own color.  However, when a players move lands
    his square on space occupied by an OPPONENT's square, he may
    AGGRAVATE by replacing that square with his own.  The
    AGGRAVATED player must then re-start the square from their
    "Home Base" position.  Squares are ALWAYS subject to
    AGGRAVATION until in "Home Area".  First player with all four
    squares in "Home Area" is the winner.


    TAKING A SHORT-CUT:
    ------------------

         The space in the center of the playing board is a
    "Short-Cut" (called Center Area in this version) and may be
    used only if the player's square is still in the line of
    spaces marked by their 'Start' position.  Also, to use the
    Center Area, a player must roll the EXACT number which would
    place him in the Center Area space if they chose to use it,
    otherwise they must proceed around the board.  When a player
    uses the Center Area, a one (1) must be rolled to EXIT and
    the square is then placed on the right side of their "Home
    Area".  To accomplish this, use the [C] option to move the
    square IN or OUT of the Center Area.


    ** SPECIAL FEATURES: **
    -----------------------


         If a mouse is to be used, moving and selecting squares
    is a simple task to accomplish.  To select a square that you
    wish to move, place the colored plus sign [+] over the
    appropriate square and click the left button.  After this is
    done the mouse cursor will become a solid colored square.
    Then to move that square to its new board location, a player
    may either place it on the correct spot and then click the
    left button.  Or just click the left button a second time and
    the computer will automatically move it for you.  NOTE: There
    is one EXCEPTION to this rule.  A player MUST place their
    square in the Center Area spot if they wish to use the Short
    Cut.  If you accidentally selected the wrong square to move
    just press the right button and the plus sign [+] cursor will
    reappear.
