Each of the players begins the game with a playing marker of a different color on the corner square marked “START HERE. e. Red, Blue, Green or Yellow marker) and play the game on that marker, taking the number of drinks, following PASS-OUT card instructions, etc However, extra players must choose a marker before the beginning of the game and cannot change to any other partner during the game. The object is to move your pieces around the board so that you can form a line of five or more pieces in an L-shape at either end of the board. Everyone who catches their card can take another turn, however if someone passes out they get to be king and have an extra turn! These positions have a lower chance of being blocked by an opponents piece, which makes them easier to defend.As each player makes a complete revolution around the board and passes the “START HERE” square, he may take a “PINK ELEPHANT” card. If the player lands on “Blue Take A Drink,” the player using the blue marker must take a drink, etc. If the player chooses to throw the dice, he must throw a 7 or 11 to get out of the “Bar “ If the player in the ‘Bar” does not throw a 7 or 11 on his first, second or third turn, he must leave the “Bar” on his third turn by taking the number of drinks and moving the number of squares indicated by the roll of the dice. he must take a drink when another player lands on “All Drink,” or when another player lands on a square the same color as his marker.
