Bead Race
GAME RULES
PLAYERS
This game can be played by 2 to 6 players. Each player uses their own board.
OBJECTIVE
Move all your beads from the left-hand side of the board to the right-hand side.
SETUP
Place all the beads on the left-hand side of the board. Each player rolls one dice. The highest roll goes first.
NUMBER RULE
Numbers 1 to 6: Use one die only to make the target number.
Numbers 7 to 12: Use exactly two dice to make the target number.
HOW TO PLAY
Roll all 8 dice. Look at the dice together with your board and choose a target number that gives you the best
opportunity to advance. Keep the same target number for the entire turn.
Set those scoring dice aside. Roll the remaining dice. Each time you make your target number again, set
aside the matching die or dice and roll the remaining dice again. Move one bead for each successful
matching set you collect.
EXTRA TURN
You immediately receive another full turn when either of these happens:
1. You use all 8 dice while making your chosen target number.
2. You move the last remaining bead in your chosen row from the left-hand side to the right-hand side,
completing that row.
WINNING
The first player to move all their beads from the left-hand side of the board to the right-hand side wins the
game.
GAME NOTE
With four players, the original game will usually take about 30 to 40 minutes. We recommend playing the
original rules for a few games first so everyone becomes comfortable with how the game works. After that,
you can try the alternate rules, including partner play, for a faster and more exciting version of the game.
