In Ring-A-Round, each player chooses a color (red, blue, green, yellow) and has their own playing field of 18 round spaces. They also have colored rings (20) that are used to cover the round raised playing spaces. On each player’s turn, they roll three six-sided dice and use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to form the numbers listed on their spaces. So, a roll of 2-6-6 could be used to form an 18 [ (2x6)+6=18 ]. You can also cover multiple spaces in one turn. For example, if you roll a 2-3-4, then you could cover the spaces for 2, 3, and 4. You can also cover the spaces in your opponents’ fields to slow them down. The first person to cover all 18 spaces in their own playing field wins.
