It's a tug of war game to the finish!

Each player has four plastic men attached to a "rope" stretched across a raised bright yellow plastic playing field. A chute (representing a waterfall) separates the two teams. A crank at the back moves the rope left or right, moving the men with it.

Each turn, players roll dice. The player with the highest roll turns the crank a number of times equal to the total of both dice. This drags their opponents closer to the edge of the brink - pull far enough, and the men will drop down the waterfall. Once per game, each player can play a special card which doubles the total of the dice.

Pull all the opposing team "Over the Brink" to win the game.
