How to play

- On your turn, roll the die and move that many spaces up the trail.
- Land on a ? space: the player on your left reads you a question card. Answer right and roll again. Answer wrong and move back one space.
- Land at the bottom of a rope and climb straight to its top. Land at the top of a rockslide and slide down to its bottom.
