Big Board Raiders – setting up the board to play
Getting ready to play Big Board Raiders
All players choose a play piece (pawn) to represent themselves on the playing board and place it on any space on the board to start. You cannot choose a Yellow, Blue, Red or Green pawn, these are reserved and go on their dots. Then follow the instructions in the video to setup the board for play. Have fun and let the kids win sometimes…
You will notice when it mentions how many time cards there is a flub, this is because the old rule set in the manual that accompanies the game says 5 time cards, it is now 4 time cards. As well, when it mentions how much money to give each player there is another flub, this is because the old rule set in the manual says $50,000. These to changes as well as transaction limits being removed, speed up the game and make it about an hour long instead of a marathon.
Setting up the Board
Each player chooses a play piece and places it on any space on the board to start.
- Place the Red pawn on the red dot, the Yellow pawn on the Yellow dot, the Green pawn on the Green dot and the Blue pawn on the Blue dot.
