Top & Down

EasyPlay

Top & Down is a race towards a finish line for points, run over scoring hurdles, upstairs and downstairs.

Depending on the number of players, players start with 3 or 4 pieces, if there are two players they take 3 pieces in two colors, and always with 6 chips of value 1. In your turn you move one of your pieces the full number of dots on the die. When the move ends on a spot already occupied you place your piece on top of the piece already there. Such a stack can hold any numb er of pieces, even pieces of only one color, and a piece in a stack is not blocked. You can move it along normally, it just take along all pieces on top of it. Such a stack is moved the full number of steps too, and – should it reach an occupied spot – placed on a piece or stack already there. Before moving a stack a player can at the cost of 1 chip rearrange a stack containing one of his pieces. He takes this piece and places it either at the top or at the bottom of the stack. When the first piece of a color jumps over a scoring hurdle all stacks are scored. For stacks on bridges the owner of the top piece scores the number of pieces in the stack, on paths the owner of the bottom piece scores those points. For pieces in last position you lose one victory point. The first three pieces at the finish score 4, 3 and 2 victory points, in case of a stack from top to bottom. Then the player with most points wins.

Top & Down is absolutely complying with the goals of the series EasyPlay: Simple rules, a little tactics despite the die, playing fast and also very good for beginners or children.
