POINT TRACKER
Assemble the Point Tracker by arranging the (5) Point Tracker Cards in numerical order.
KEY CARD
Keep the Key Card handy for a quick guide on some of the basic rules.
You can also use scissors to cut the marked grooves out and place the 4”x3” Key Card into the X-Divider’s grooves so it is easily viewable by all players.
CHOOSE CHARACTER
Have players choose which character they’d like to be and distribute the corresponding Character Card and Player Pieces to each player to keep in their supply.
These are used for Mini Games, and more!
MINI GAMES & GAUNTLET
Set aside the (3) Platform Mini Game Cards and the (12) Ghost Mudd Mini Game Cards. Assemble the (3) CGA-LAND Gauntlet Cards next to the main board for easy access.
STARTING
Place one of each players’ Player Pieces on the START Board Card to set their position on the board. Then place each player’s second Player Piece on the 1 Space on the Point Tracker to keep track of players’ points. All players start with 1 point!
GOLDEN DICE
Shuffle the Golden Dice Token Cards and distribute one to every player face down. If there are any left over, place them face down in a stack next to the Challenge Cards.
​
Players can opt to use their Golden Dice Token Card at anytime instead of a normal dice roll. Use strategically! Because once used, you must discard back to the Golden Dice Token Card stack. Land on a Golden Dice Chest to get another one, or trade the one you have with a new one!
GAME OBJECTIVE
Players must collect Water Sprites by purchasing them with points they earn during gameplay. The player with the most Water Sprites at the end wins!
STARTING THE GAME
1. Decide how many turns to play - 20 to 30 recommended. Player 1 starts every new turn. (Players can track the turns with paper and pencil)
​
2. Decide who goes first via Rock Paper Scissors tournament or Highest Dice Roll.
Player order is clockwise when being played in the Northern Hemisphere.
3. Highest dice winner rolls the dice again to decide where the first Water Sprite Token should be placed on the specially numbered 1-6 spawn spaces. Only one Water Sprite Token is in play at a time.
​
4. Once the Water Sprite Token is placed, Player 1 can start the game by beginning their 1st turn by rolling the dice and moving their Player Piece along the board, interacting with whatever space they land on.
The game ends in either of 2 ways:
​
1. A player collects 3 Water Sprites
​
2. After the last turn ends, the player with the most Water Sprites is the winner. If there's a tie, the player with the most points wins. If there is still a tie, duke it out in a Mini Game!

When transported here, the player immediately attempts to make it to the end by rolling the dice and traveling without landing on spikes, and can also collect points along the way. If player lands on or passes the 11th space, they immediately warp to the Water Sprite Token Card! If they fall on to spikes, they lose 1 pt and must transport their Player Piece to the initial CGA-Land Door space on the Board.
GOLDEN DICE CHEST: Draw or trade a Golden Dice Token Card! If a player doesn’t have a Golden Dice Token Card, they may draw one and add it to their supply. If they do already have a Golden Dice Token Card in their supply, they may draw a new one and replace their current one.

MINI GAMES
PLATFORM MINI GAME (1:00 min)
SETUP: Shuffle the (3) platform Mini Game cards and randomly draw two. Place them face up in the middle of the table, at least two cards distance away from each other. Set aside the remaining card.
GAMEPLAY: From at least a 12 inch distance, each player takes two turns tossing their Character Card to try and land on a platform card to win points! The thrown card needs to be touching a platform card to earn the point. Everyone can win points in this Mini Game, but beware, for if the spike card is placed, it can take a point away from the players who land on it. Yikes!
GHOST MUDD MINI-GAME (1:00 min)
SETUP: Shuffle all (12) cards. If playing with 2 players, deal each player 6 cards face down. If playing with 3, each player gets 4 cards. If playing with 4 players, each player gets 3 cards.
GAMEPLAY: At the count of 3, each player must flip their cards over and chain their own cards together by matching Ghost Mudds. (See above picture how Ghost Mudds can be chained)
First player to create a Ghost Mudd chain and say “I Win!” wins!
