To play this game, you will need the following types of equipment:
Before the game gets started, each player is required to roll the die once, and the player who hits the highest number will be the one to play the game with the first turn.
After deciding who will play the game first, the players start moving their game pieces by following the numbers on the board according to the numbers on the die in each turn. They start from the number one and keep on following the other numbers on the board.
After crossing the first row, in the next one, they will start from right to left (following the numbers). The player will move their pieces according to the die numbers, so if there is 6 on the die and a player is on the number 3 before the die roll, then the player will place its token/piece on the number 9.
The player who manages to be the first person to reach the top/final square on the board (usually the number 100) wins.
