GAME OF SUCCESS

The Players throw the dice each in turn.

A player must first throw one, he then enters his counter at Start, after which he advances on the road to Success as many spots as he scores with the dice.

The players must always move in the direction the arrows point.

When a player, stops on spot marked with instructions he must act as there directed.

A player having gone to the "Stool of repentance" must stay there and lose two turns after which he must reenter the game at Clerk.

The first player to become Editor winks the game.
