Each player rolls two dice on each turn, and should one or two chips according to the number released in each die. You can move a tab by adding the scores of the two dice, and move two.

For example, if you roll the dice and comes out in February and in that box there is no record or only one of you, he can go and follow their moves. Otherwise, wait your turn and try again.
