## Rules questions

### Do I always roll 6 dice? What about extra dice and the first player's first turn?

You may roll all 6 dice on your first roll, plus up to 2 extra dice if you discarded Dice tokens or have a power (never more than 8 dice); the very first player on their very first turn rolls only 5 dice. (p.6)

### If I set some dice aside on an earlier roll, can I take them back for a later roll?

Yes — before each new roll you may take back any dice you previously set aside and include them in the next roll. (p.7)

### Do Smash (paw) results damage everyone or just my rival, and how much damage do they do?

Each Smash (paw) in your final Roll causes your Rival to take 1 damage (lose 1 heart) per paw; if that damage reduces their last heart to a skull you immediately win. (p.7)

### How do the Star (★) and Destruction (☠) dice move their markers — what does a triple mean?

For each triple of ★ or ☠ you pull the corresponding marker 1 space toward you, and for each additional matching symbol beyond the triple you pull it 1 extra space (e.g., three = 1 space, five = 3 spaces). (p.8)

### When I buy a Buzz card where may I place its Buzz token, and how does a Buzz token interact with Spotlight or Victory spaces?

A Buzz token must be placed on top of one or more spaces of any track but not on another Buzz token or a space already covered by a ★ or a marker; Buzz token spaces that lie entirely in the Spotlight Zone count as Spotlight spaces, and a Buzz token on the Victory space still makes that space a Victory space. (pp.10, 11)

### How does The King's special Buzz token stop marker movement?

There are two King Buzz tokens and when The King's Rival pulls a ★ or red marker, its movement stops immediately if it reaches a King Buzz token (any remaining movement is lost); if a marker starts its movement on the King token it moves normally. (p.15)
