Pathways of connected yellow squares emanate upward and downward from the Start box. The second box up and down from the Start box is connected horizontally with 8 more yellow boxes each to the left and right. The next-to-last yellow boxes are vertically connected in a stretch of 7 boxes each. Four of the boxes are not square. Additional yellow boxes connect to each of the outer rectangles, each of which shows an animal and a point count.

The left-center box shows a bear sitting on a log, and "3 POINTS".

The lower left box shows a dog, walking on two legs, and "1 POINT".
