Players roll and move along the white and pink ties, the yellow squares and railroad crossing count as one space. Players attempt to collect three cards of a kind white or pink. When a player reaches the "crossing" space he may choose to go on either circular track. Once started he must continue to travel clockwise around the circle. When a player reaches the "switch" space he must choose to continue around the circle if he does not have cards for "three of a kind".
