Coast to Coast |
- Step 1.) Choose the number of players and the names of the players in the game. You can have up to four players.
- Step 2.) Each player will start off in Maine with a question about Maine. If a player answers correctly, he or she will awarded a random number of points between 1-6. Each point represents a bordering state that player can travel to. Since the object of the game is to make it to Hawaii, try to make it as far west as possible. For example, if a player is on Maine and is awarded "2" points, he or she must first go to New Hampshire (1), and then has the choice to go to Vermont or Massachusetts - the states that border New Hampshire (2). If a player answers incorrectly, he or she may be swept back to Maine by a natural disaster, or, may lose a turn. The object of the game is to make it all the way to Hawaii. When you reach Hawaii, a special serenade awaits you. Beware however! The questions are hard and may require some internet research.
