Overview
The game is cleverly packaged to look like a swimming pool about the size of a paperback book, and around the edge of the pool are 18 spaces. The spaces are filled randomly with the 18 pawns, 3 each of 6 colors, and each player is secretly assigned a color. Your turn consists of picking up one of the pawns, looking at the number (1, 2, or 3) on the bottom, and moving it that many spaces. If it lands on another pawn, it pushes it into the pool! Winner is the last pawn standing.
