These are used for Mini Games, Challenges and more!
MINI GAMES & GAUNTLET
Set aside the (20) Mudd Blocks Mini Game Cards, the (1) CD Mini Game Card, and the (5) Boss Cards. Assemble the (3) V-LAND Gauntlet Cards in numerical order 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 Sprite Token Cards by purchasing them with points they've earned during gameplay. The player with the most Water Sprites at the end wins!
STARTING TO 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.

MINI GAMES
MUDD BLOCKS MINI GAME (3-5 min)
OBJECTIVE: Align same-colored Mudd Blocks together to create as big of a chain for each of the 5 different colors as you can. At the end of the game, you will add up points for your biggest chain of each color. Think strategically! Is it better to go for 1 single-color big chain, or several multiple-colored smaller chains?
GAMEPLAY: Shuffle the (20) Cards and place them facedown into a stack. Each player (or team) takes turns by drawing one card from the stack and strategically placing it to make the biggest chains of each color. The cards can be turned and placed in any way adjacent to one another. As long as a color of each Mudd Block is touching, it is part of the chain. Each player/team should end up with 10 cards each. Once all of the cards have been drawn and placed, add up the scores of the biggest color chains for each color. (A notepad may be handy) The player/team with the highest score wins 5 Pts!
This player scored combos of: 3 Green, 5 Orange, 5 Purple, 3 Yellow and 3 Blue.
When adding all of these scores together, they've earned 19 points total for this round.
CD MINI-GAME (1:00 min)
SETUP: Each Player gives their Character Card to the player that initiated the Mini-Game (Leader), who then shuffles them in with the Hidden CD Mini-Game Card and randomly places the cards face down on a clear surface.
GAMEPLAY: Players take one turn each attempting to roll one of the 3 numbers the Leader chooses for them to roll. (For example, the Leader can choose numbers 2, 3 and 6, and the Players must roll one of them) If a Player is successful in rolling one of the right numbers, they get to choose one of the facedown cards to turn over. If they find the CD, they win! If none of the players find the CD, the Leader wins!
NUMBERS CHOSEN: 2, 3, and 6
GAME DECKS "WINNER" RULE
To officially win the game, the winner must topple every other Player Piece while making eye contact with opponents, declaring, “You lose. You lose.” then trumpeting “I WIN.” while pointing at their own heart.
