Abstract
The present invention relates to a game wherein the objective is to retrieve a special die from a specific location and return with it to the starting point on the playing surface. The game is designed to maximize feelings of competition and suspense among those playing by providing both the incentive and the means for players to interfere with the progress of other players. The player having the special die has the advantage of being able to roll the special die in addition to the regular die. The special die returns to its original location when the player in possession of it is caught by another player. Some playing surface locations hinder movement by requiring specific die rolls before movement off of the location is permitted. Other locations promote movement by allowing additional rolls of the dice. All players have a chance to win the game until the very end.
