About the app

Today, this game is recognized as a timeless race game where players roll dice and advance towards the finish line while encountering various obstacles along their path. It primarily relies on chance rather than tactical planning.

Game Instructions.

The aim of the game is to be the first player to reach the end of the board.

Begin by rolling the dice, moving your piece forward one square for each number shown. After your turn, it proceeds to the next player unless one of the following scenarios occurs:

If your token lands on a square that features a goose, move ahead to the next goose and take another roll.

Landing on a bridge means you automatically move to the opposite bridge.

If you land in the well or jail, you must skip two turns.

If you fall on a dead black square, you must return to square 1 and begin again!

To emerge victorious, you need to land on the final square precisely. If your roll exceeds the number required to reach the end, move into the final square and then bounce back out; each number on the dice still counts as one square during this movement. If you land on any special squares during this process, you must adhere to the usual rules.

When you land exactly on the final square, you are declared the winner!

The Game of the Goose is highly engaging. Enjoy playing!

Preparation and Objective

Pieces are placed on the starting space at the outside of the spiral. Highest roll of the dice starts.

The Game of Goose is a simple race game - first person to reach space 63 wins.

Play

Players take turns to roll the dice and moved their piece forward by the sum of the two dice.

If your first throw is six and three, move to space 26.

If your first throw is five and four, move to space 53.

If a piece lands on an enemy piece, the enemy piece is returned to the space that the piece started from in that turn (i.e. the two pieces swap places).

If a piece lands on a space with a picture of a goose, it moves forward by same amount again. If this causes the piece to land on another goose, it moves forward again in the same way.

The following spaces are called Hazard spaces and are usually illustrated to match their name. If a piece lands on the space indicated, that piece must follow the stated rule.

6 - The Bridge - Go to space 12

19- The Hotel - Stay for (miss) one turn

31- The Well - Wait until someone comes to pull you out - they then take your place

42- The Maze -Go back to space 39 (or space 30 in most French games)

52- The Prison -Wait until someone comes to release you - they then take your place

58- Death -Return your piece to the beginning - start the game again

Winning the Game

To win the game, a piece must land exactly on space 63.

If a player throws too many, the piece counts the extra points backwards from the winning space. If you then land on a goose space, you must continue moving backwards by the amount of your throw until you land on a space with no goose space. If you land on the Death space, you must start again.
