Step by Step

Players push their pieces up five columns in a push-your-luck dice game. On each turn, they choose a column, roll the number of dice associated with it, and bid that the total will be higher or lower than the current result. They reroll selected dice to match the bid, advancing a runner when successful, but losing the turn's progress if they fail. Players can stop to secure their progress and claim tokens along the columns. Pieces score based on their final height, while tokens provide additional points or penalties. Access to the upper sections requires moving at least three pieces from the starting spaces, and the game ends when one player reaches every upper section.
