Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the game is straightforward: simply punch out the game pieces if you are using it for the first time and lay out the player boards. No complex assembly is required. To ensure the longevity of the game, store all pieces in the original box after each play session to prevent loss. If the cardboard pieces become dirty, gently wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth; do not submerge them in water or use harsh cleaners as this will damage the material. Ensure the game is kept away from moisture and direct heat sources.
