Gameplay
Goal
The goal of Relay is to advance your position in the race against your opponent without stumbling.
Your Turn
When your turn begins, roll two dice. You can roll as many times as you’d like during your turn to advance in the race. Add points to your score only when your turn ends.
There are four possible outcomes of your roll.
If you roll two different sides, advance 10 points.
If you roll two identical sides, advance 50 points.
If you roll one Ace, you advance 0 points and your turn ends.
If you roll two Aces, your entire progress is nullified and your turn ends.
Now it’s the next player’s turn.
Ending
The player who crosses the finish line with 500 points wins!
Strategy
In this game, you can make great strides, but every roll contains a risk of stumbling and losing your progress. Be careful not to get too greedy, especially if you’ve accumulated a decent amount of points during your turn. You might be back at the starting block!
