Can't Stop

To set up the game, lay out the game board. Place the four dice and three place markers to the side of the board. Each player receives a set of colored tokens. Roll the dice to determine the first player; the player with the highest roll goes first.

The objective of Can't Stop is to be the first player to successfully reach the end of three of the numbered tracks on the game board.

On your turn, roll all four dice. You must then split these four dice into two pairs and total the numbers on each pair. For example, if you roll a 3, 4, 2, and 6, you could make pairs of (3+4=7) and (2+6=8), or (3+6=9) and (2+4=6), or (3+2=5) and (4+6=10). For each of the two numbers you've made, place a place marker at the beginning of its respective track on the board, or if a marker is already on that track, advance it one space forward. You must place markers if possible and cannot ignore any dice. Once a marker is placed, it cannot be moved to another track or taken off until your turn ends.

After placing or advancing your markers, you decide whether to 'stop' or 'roll again'. You can roll as many times as you like as long as you can make at least one legal move. If you roll the dice and cannot place or move a marker on any track, you 'bust'. If you bust, all progress made during that turn is lost, and you must remove all your place markers from the board, ending your turn. If you choose to stop, replace the place markers on the board with your colored tokens to save your progress along the tracks. On subsequent turns, you will start your place markers from the space in front of your colored token on any track you have tokens on. If you move to a space already occupied by an opponent's token, you stack your token on top of theirs.

If you successfully reach the very end of a numbered track with a place marker and choose to stop your turn, you claim that track. When you claim a track, remove any other players' tokens from that track, and that track can no longer be used by any player for the rest of the game. The first player to claim three tracks wins the game.
