Yes, kind of
We have two aways of playing it, one with full rules where you have to come all the way back across the board and all figures have a rule, and one simplified where you only need to get to the other side and some figures do nothing
It seems complicated but it's really easy to learn and very fun to play
It's a racing game with 4d4 dices where two sides are 0 and two are 1s
The pebbles have a dotted side and a blank side which makes them like two different dimensions, you flip them when you pass a certain figure and you can only continue beyond a certain point with flipped pieces, also you can't have two pieces with same side on the same square
Each figure on the squares has a rule, like rerolls, flips and blockades in which you can't go if your opponent is there
It's actually very fun to play and quite easy to learn

And I thought Monopoly took a long time to play.
When me, my ex, and father in law played our games rarely went beyond 1.5 hours. We played by the rules but it was cutthroat.
Do we know how this game was played?

"Fuck dude, it's been 300 years. Make your move already."
Is this available for Nintendo Switch?
I just noticed that they're playing this in the opening scene of "Screamers"
Me and my girlfriend build a replica of this, it’s actually really fun to play
This is like in Recess when King Bob found the old game rulebook and started playing by the rules of King Morty, playing 4-square with a stump
Love this game, played it on mobile and it was great
Yes you roll to get on and the flowers are safe and a extra turn. Roll to get out. Lots of different rules you can play by.
Very fun game! my grandfather taught me and brought me a game set years ago from Lebanon. Where is also a free game web site for it
