Beam me up! is a simple dice game for the whole family. Everyone wants to bring their pieces up as quickly as possible. With a little bit of luck and tactics no piece remains on the ground. Who makes four pieces float first and wins? Here's how it's played: Each player gets a board and 7 pieces. Everyone is trying to get their pieces up from the ground. They can only do that if they roll the right number. For example, when they roll a double, that piece moves one space upwards. With four of a kind, it's three spaces upwards. But beware: If a player moves his piece 2 or more spaces at once all the other players have to move their piece down again! Whoever is the first one to move 4 pieces over the white line wins - provided none of his pieces is left on the ground.
