   • Print the game board and gather enough counters for each player (10 counters per player, each set in a different color).

2. Setup:

   • Each player selects 10 counters of the same color. If one player chooses blue, the others must choose different colors.

   • Players place their playing pieces anywhere on the board to start the game.

Gameplay Instructions:

1. Taking Turns:

   • Players take turns rolling a dice and moving their playing piece around the board based on the number rolled.

2. Covering Fractions:

   • On each turn, players cover the equivalent fraction in the middle of the board with one of their colored counters.

3. Bumping Opponents:

   • If a player lands on a fraction already covered by an opponent’s counter, they can “bump” that counter off and replace it with their own.

4. Freezing Spots:

   • If a player lands on a fraction they have already covered, they place a second counter on top. This spot is now frozen and cannot be bumped off by other players.

5. Winning the Game:

   • The first player to use all 10 of their counters wins the game.
