How To Play M: Rules Summary

Setup

  1. Begin by laying out the game board on a flat surface. Ensure everyone can reach it without pulling a muscle, unlike that time Dave tried yoga.

  2. Each player selects one token and places it at the starting point. Choose wisely; don’t fight over the best color like my friends do!

  3. Shuffle the resource and event cards. Place them in their respective spots on the board. Trust me, shuffling skills come in handy.

  4. Hand out 4 resource cards to each player. Don’t peek at your neighbor’s, or you’ll owe them a snack at the end.

Gameplay

  1. Take turns rolling the dice. Move your token according to the number rolled. If you roll snake eyes, consider it a sign to change tactics.

  2. Follow the board instructions. You might gain or lose resources or draw an event card. Embrace the chaos; it’s part of the fun!

  3. Trade resources with other players, but remember the golden rule: trading a sandwich for a single peanut is just rude.

Winning

  1. To win, collect all types of resources. It’s like Pokémon but with fewer creatures and more strategy.

  2. Fulfill the winning condition by securing the final spot on the board marked ‘Victory’. Resist the urge to yell ‘Bingo’—wrong game!

Special Rules & Conditions

  1. If you land on a special tile, follow the instructions promptly. Ignoring them is like ignoring my dad’s advice—never ends well.

  2. Event cards can turn the tables. Use them wisely, or you might end up how I did: losing a game I was destined to win!

  3. Whenever a tie occurs, settle it with a roll-off. It’s fair, it’s fun, and it beats arguing till midnight.

Now, you’re ready to conquer the game of M with style, and maybe even a laugh or two along the way!
