Troubleshooting
Missing game tokens

Spinner is difficult to rotate
Ensure the center pin is properly seated and the spinner is placed on a level surface. A light touch is usually more effective than excessive force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the game is straightforward: simply unfold the board, place the playing pieces at the start line, and position the spinners in an accessible area for all players. Ensure the game is played on a flat surface to prevent pieces from sliding. Regarding care, the board and pieces should be stored in a dry, cool place to prevent warping or mold. Since the game includes small tokens and spinners, ensure that all pieces are accounted for after each play session to prevent loss. To clean the components, gently wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or submerging them in water, as this can damage the cardboard material.
