Rock Board

In this game, choosing the number of players and one of five characters: Dr. Wily, Dr. Right, Dr. Cossack, Kalinka, and Roll, players must select which of four different boards to play on. Upon starting, players begin each turn by rolling the dice and moving to the appropriate position on the board.

Different squares on the board trigger events that can include receiving special cards, betting on hardhat races, and random events. Players typically go around and around the board, collecting money every time they pass or land on the "E Canister" start square. Some boards feature different paths for the player to choose. When players land on property, they are given the opportunity to buy it or pay rent to the player that owns it.

Additionally, players can elect to build a lab on the property, even if they themselves don't own it. In these cases, rent is split between the two parties. Rent becomes more expensive when it is situated next to owners of the same kind. Labs and properties can be connected, making the rent more expensive on each.

Properties can only be bought once, but labs can be upgraded through four different phases, which is done when the player lands on the property or activates a special bonus event. Players can also "take over" a lab or property from another player at any time, but the cost is more expensive than obtaining it from the bank.

Players can use cards they have collected at the beginning of each turn, each with its own unique effects.

Each board has a specific objective in amount of money, property, and labs required to win. The first player who reaches this amount ends the game. Rankings are then displayed for all players.
