HOW TO PLAY THE GAME
Put the game board in the middle of the table and place the cards face down. Each player takes five cards. Leave the rest of the cards in a pile, face down. All the players put their counters on the square marked START and throw the dice. The first player to throw a six starts the game.
Player A throws the dice and moves their counter along the board according to the number on the dice. Player A then reads the words on the square they have landed on and makes a sentence beginning with If... using the words in the square and the words on one of their cards to finish the sentence in an appropriate way. The sentence must be gramatically correct, and also make sense. Lf the group is unsure about a sentence, they can reject it, but if a player can justify his/her sentence to the satisfaction of the other players, it is accepted.
6 When a player has used a card to finish off a sentence, they put it at the bottom of the pile.
7 If a player has a joker card, they can finish off the sentence in any way they like.
8 If a player can't use any of their cards to finish off the sentence appropriately, they can take one from the top of the pile and use it if possible. If they can't use this card either, they miss a go.
9 If a player lands on a square marked 'if, they can begin a sentence in any way they like and finish it with one of their cards.
10 The game continues until the first player reaches the square marked FINISH, or uses up all their cards. This player is the winner.
