Which Path Will You Take?
The Strategy
Keep an eye on your opponents.
If someone’s being aggressive and choosing large numbers early, you may want to try and keep up. Alternatively, you may want to bide your time and choose small numbers to try and steal some turns back. Don’t forget that you can manipulate the dice pool to try and push your advantage!Study your map.
There may be helpful spots on the map where you have easy places to “dump” large numbers. These spots usually don't have many spots above that depend on them.Use some table talk.
A good push-your-luck game always has a little egging on to keep the dice flying!
Pick a Landmark Board
All players use identical landmark boards.
Roll Dice
Each turn, roll the dice. The same result will be used by all players.
Write Numbers
Choose what numbers you to write on your board. As you go up you must use larger numbers than the box below. You are allowed to use as many or as few of the dice as you want. You can also choose to add dice together.
Push Your Luck
How aggressive will you be? Will you fill in more spaces even if the number are are higher than you'd like? Or will you play slower, only using the small numbers, so that you have more flexibility in future turns?
Swap Dice
For the next turn, the active player will get to choose a die to add or remove. This effect what kind of number might get rolled. There's some subtle strategy here.
