RULES (v3.1)

This draft ruleset includes prototype and non-final component images.

Introduction

In Dice Theme Park, you take on the role of an ambitious theme park owner. Expand and

improve your park with new rides and attractions, compete to attract the right mix of guests

on the futuristic monorail, and keep them entertained by recruiting staff to dress up as your

world-famous mascot. The more you can delight your guests, the more stars ★ you earn. At

the end of the game, the player who earned the most stars is the winner.

Hi! I’m Thelma, and I’m here to help you create the best theme park you

can. Watch out for me while reading the rules. I’ll give you some advice

when playing for the first time, and help you understand the trickier parts

of staff, building and operating the perfect park. Good luck!

Introductory game: For your first game, we recommend playing over 4 rounds without

the administrator and skill cards. Just follow the setup for the introductory game and skip

over the extra rules that explain the full game.

Full game: Once you are familiar with the game concepts and flow, we recommend

playing the full game, which include the administrator and skill cards, over 5 rounds. This

is the best and most complete Dice Theme Park experience!

Short game: If you enjoy the full game but are short on time, you can simply keep the

administrator and skill cards in the game, but play over only 4 rounds.

Setup

Main board

1. Place the main board between the players.

Introductory game: Use the side with a round track of 4 spaces.

Full game: Use the side with a round track of 5 spaces.

2. Place the round marker on space ‘1’ of the round track.

3. Find the set of monorails that matches the number of players (in each case the

correct set contains one more monorail than the number of players) and put the other

monorails back in the box. Lay the monorails above the main board. The order of the

monorails does not matter.

4. Put the following number of dice in the bag. Put unused dice back in the box.

2 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 3 of 23

2 players: 11 dice of each colour (put back 10 dice of each colour)

3 players: 16 dice of each colour (put back 5 dice of each colour)

4 players: 21 dice of each colour (use all the dice)

5. Randomly draw dice from the bag, one at a time, to fill all the spaces on the

monorails. Fill the monorails from left to right, filling each one top to bottom. As you

place each die, set it to the value shown on the space.

6. Shuffle the 10 objective cards. Deal 1 objective face up below each of the marked

spaces of the round track:

Introductory game: Deal an objective below spaces 3 & 4.

Full game: Deal an objective below spaces 3, 4 & 5.

In any game, you must not have two objectives with the same colour/letter code, so if

you deal a matching objective, discard it and deal a replacement. Put the unused

objectives back in the box.

7. Put all the money and star tokens in a common supply between the players.

The position of the round marker on the track on the main board reminds

you how far through the game you are. The objective cards represent

valuable ways to earn some extra stars ★ at the ends of their respective

rounds, but you will need to work towards them and keep an eye on your

opponents!

Player sets

8. Each player takes a park board and player aid.

9. Each player takes 1 turn order marker, 1 score marker, 1 score tile, 17 operate

cubes, and a set of 6 staff cards, all of one player colour.

10. Each player takes money equal to $6 from the supply.

11. Put everyone’s score markers on the ‘0’ space of the score track on the main board.

12. Put everyone’s turn order markers on the turn order track, placing them left to right in

a random order (mix them in your fist and then place them one by one).

13. Keep your score tile, operate cubes, money and staff cards below your board. This is

called your ‘staging area’.

3 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 4 of 23

Everything you do during the game can earn you stars ★. The player who

has the most stars at the end of the game wins! You’ll keep track of your

stars by moving your score marker on the track on the main board.

Improvements

14. Each player takes 3 maps and 1 mascot matching their player colour. Put the

remaining map tiles and mascots in a common supply between the players.

15. Each player takes 9 upgrades: 3 merch kiosks, 3 special effects and 3 generators.

Put any remaining upgrade tiles back in the box.

16. Keep all your improvements (maps, mascot and upgrades) in your staging area. Flip

all your map tiles face up, with their ‘ready’ side showing.

You start the game with 3 maps and 1 mascot, which can help your

guests move around and visit attractions. You can get more each round.

Upgrades help you earn money and stars when you operate your

attractions, but you will need to pay to install them. You start the game

with 9 upgrades ready to be installed. You can’t get more.

If you are playing the full game, setup the administrator and skill cards as follows, otherwise

put these components back in the box.

17. Shuffle the administrator cards and deal 2 to each player. Each player chooses 1

administrator to keep, and returns the other. Put the unused administrators back in

the box. Keep your administrator card face up in your staging area. It gives you an

ongoing ability or objective.

18. Shuffle the skill cards and deal 2 to each player. Each player chooses 1 skill to keep,

and returns the other to the deck. Keep your skill card face up in your staging area

and place your mascot onto the card. The card gives your mascot an ongoing ability.

19. Shuffle the deck of skill cards again, and place it face down between the players.

Deal a number of face-up skill cards, equal to the number of players plus one,

between the players to form a display.

Attractions

20. Sort the attraction tiles into 2 stacks: A and B. Shuffle the stacks separately and

place them face down between the players.

4 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 5 of 23

21. Deal 2 attraction tiles from stack A to each player. Each player chooses 1 attraction

to keep, and returns the other to the stack. Shuffle stack A again once everyone has

returned a tile.

22. Add your attraction tile face up to your park, in one of the positions shown. You do

not have to pay its build cost.

23. Deal a number of face-up attraction tiles from stack A, equal to the number of players

plus one, between the players to form a display.

Your attractions are what makes your park unique. Each attraction gives

you a different opportunity to entertain your guests, and every time you do

you will earn stars. When picking an attraction for the first time, just

choose whichever appeals to you. They’re all good in different ways!

How to play

The game is played over 4 rounds (full game: 5 rounds). Each round has the following 6

phases.

In some phases, players must take actions in turn order, which is shown by the order, from

left to right, of the player markers on the turn order track. In other phases, players can take

actions simultaneously.

In some phases, actions are mandatory, meaning you must do all them. In other phases

actions are optional, meaning you may take all, some or none of them, if you wish.

Phases

1. Plan (mandatory, simultaneous)

Each player plays 2 staff cards. These determine the player’s position in the turn

order and their income. Each card also gives the player an ability they can use during

the round.

5 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 6 of 23

2. Welcome (mandatory, in turn order)

Each player chooses 1 monorail, moves it to their park, and places the 3 guest dice

on their Park Entrance.

3. Expand (optional, in turn order)

Each player may do the following: build 1 new attraction tile, and recruit 1 mascot.

4. Improve (optional, simultaneous)

Each player may do the following: buy 1 map, and install up to 2 upgrades.

5. Operate (free choice, simultaneous)

Each player runs their park, operating as many or as few of their attractions in any

order they choose, until they have operated every attraction or choose to stop.

6. Upkeep (mandatory, simultaneous)

Each player takes the stars and money they earned running their park. If there is an

objective, it is evaluated. The players then get ready for the next round.

1. Plan (mandatory, simultaneous)

Everyone must choose 2 staff cards from their hand of 6 cards. Place your 2 chosen cards

face down in front of you. When everyone has chosen, reveal your cards.

You should consider the die value, monetary value, and staff member shown on each card,

all of which have an effect during the current round in different ways:

● Turn order: The sum of the two die values on your cards determines your position in

the turn order for this round. The lower the sum, the more likely you are to be earlier

in the turn order. Turn order is important when you take turns to choose a monorail,

an attraction and (in the full game) a skill during the Welcome and Expand phases

(phases 2 & 3).

● Income: The sum of the two monetary values on your cards determines how much

income you receive this round. You will also earn income from your Park Entrance

and some other attractions.

● Staff member: Each card has an ability that you can use during the round.

In later rounds, you may have a different selection of staff cards to choose from, including

multiple copies of the same card. In this case, you are allowed to play two copies of the

same staff card, if you wish.

In the first round, everyone has the same set of 6 staff cards to choose

from. During the Upkeep phase (phase 6), you will pass the 2 cards you

played to the player on your left, and you will receive the 2 cards played

by the player on your right. This is how, in later rounds, you may have a

different selection of staff cards to choose from, including duplicates.

6 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 7 of 23

Turn order

Announce the sum of the die values on your 2 staff cards. Rearrange the markers on the

turn order track so that the players’ are placed in order, from lowest sum to highest sum,

going left to right.

If players are tied, the tied player who has so far earned the fewest stars wins the tie and is

positioned earlier in turn order, ahead of the other tied player. If tied players have earned the

same number of stars, reverse the existing order of the tied player’s turn order markers on

the track (in round 1, this order was randomly determined during setup).

In this example, Blue plays their Ticket Agent and Concierge cards. The sum of the die

values is 3. Green plays Concierge and Builder which have a sum of 7, and Yellow plays

Guide and Mascot which also have a sum of 7.

Blue has the lowest sum and is positioned first in turn order. Green and Yellow are tied. So

far, Green has earned fewer stars than Yellow, so Green wins the tie and is positioned

second in turn order. Yellow is positioned third.

Income

Add the monetary values on your 2 staff cards together, and then add the income on your

Park Entrance ($1), and any income on your other attractions. Only grey attractions and

some attractions in the ‘B’ stack have incomes.

Take money from the supply equal to your total income, and add it to the money you already

have in your staging area. You do not receive income from merch kiosk upgrades in your

park. These can instead earn money during the Operate phase (phase 5).

7 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 8 of 23

In this example, Yellow receives a total income of $8. Yellow played Guide and Mascot,

which have a combined income of $6. Yellow also earns $1 from their Park Entrance, and

$1 from their Helter Skelter attraction.

Staff member

Each staff card has an ability that you may use during the current round. Using an ability is

always optional. In later rounds, if you play 2 matching staff cards, you can either use the

ability twice (at the same or different times), or add the effects of the two abilities together.

Ticket Agent

Phase 6: Upkeep

Once during the Upkeep phase, you may take any one guest die of

value 1 that would otherwise be leaving your park, and return it to your

Park Entrance set to any value of your choice.

Concierge

Phase 2: Welcome

Once during the Welcome phase, you may either increase the die

value of one new guest die arriving at your Park Entrance by up to +2,

or increase the die values of two new guest dice by +1 each.

Guide

Phase 5: Operate

Once during the Operate phase, you may move any one guest die from

any location to any other attraction, anywhere in your park.

8 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 9 of 23

Mascot

Phase 3: Expand

Phase 5: Operate

During the Expand phase, pay $2 less if you recruit a mascot. In

addition, during the Operate phase, each time you use a mascot, you

may additionally adjust the value or colour of one guest die in the same

attraction.

Builder

Phase 4: Improve

During the Improve phase, pay $1 less for each upgrade you install. In

addition, and before you install any new upgrades, you may also

remove one previously built upgrade from your park and return it to

your supply (if you do this, you do not receive any compensation).

Manager

Phase 5: Operate

Once during the Operate phase, choose any one attraction that has no

available operate icons, and operate that attraction again. Place an

additional operate cube on the attraction when you do this.

2. Welcome (mandatory, in turn order)

In turn order, each player must choose a monorail beside the main board. Move the monorail

to your park, and place the three guest dice onto your Park Entrance without changing the

values of the dice.

Place the new dice together in the middle of the Park Entrance, alongside any dice that

remained there at the end of the previous round. Any number of dice, in any combination of

colours and values, can be present on any attraction at the same time.

If you played the Concierge staff card, you can use

the ability during this phase.

You may increase the value of one new guest die

arriving on the monorail by up to +2, or increase the

value of each of two new guest dice by +1.

9 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 10 of 23

3. Expand (optional, in turn order)

Build attraction

In turn order, each player may choose one of the face-up attraction tiles in the display and

add it to their park. Each attraction has a build cost which you must pay immediately and in

full when you take the tile. If you cannot pay for a tile, you cannot take it. You may choose

not to build an attraction.

Every attraction has a name, an operate icon, an amenity icon, and an operation

requirement and star value at the bottom. Some tiles also have an income value, and may

have up to 2 spaces in which you can install upgrades. You will have the opportunity to

install upgrades during the Improve phase (phase 4).

Operation requirements

Each tile has a different operation requirement, which represents the number, value and

colour combination of guest dice that you must assemble on the attraction before you can

operate it during the Operate phase (phase 5). All operation requirements are explained on

page XX.

When choosing which new attraction to build, it can be helpful to think

about the colours and values of the guest dice already in your park. Can

you add a new attraction that will suit them? This is why it’s important to

understand the operation requirement of each new attraction. Will you be

able to earn stars by assembling the right mix of guests?

10 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 11 of 23

Park shape

Each time you add a new attraction tile to your park, place it adjacent to at least one other

tile. After you build a new attraction, you cannot reposition it. Your park can be any shape

you choose, but must be built within the boundary of the shape shown.

Amenities

Every attraction has 1 of the 8 different amenities. If you build an attraction which means you

now have 2, 3 or 4 matching amenities anywhere in your park, you immediately earn a

bonus action:

● 2 matching amenities: Set any single guest die anywhere in your park to any value.

● 3 matching amenities: Draw a guest die at random from the bag and place it in your

Park Entrance, set at value 4.

● 4 matching amenities: Choose any one attraction in the discard pile and build it in

your park for free (you do not have to pay its build cost). You do not earn an

additional bonus If the amenity on this tile matches one already in your park.

Recruit mascot

In turn order, each player may recruit exactly 1 mascot for $5. Take one of your mascots

from the common supply and place it in your staging area.

Full game: In the full game, when you recruit a mascot also choose 1 face-up skill card in the

display and place it in your staging area. Then place the new mascot onto the card.

11 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 12 of 23

If you played the Mascot staff card, you can use

part of the ability during this phase.

Pay $2 less when you recruit a mascot.

4. Improve (optional, simultaneous)

Buy map

You may buy exactly 1 map tile for $3. Take a map tile from the common supply and place it

in your staging area face up, with the ‘ready’ side showing.

Install upgrades

You may install up to 2 upgrades. When you install an upgrade, choose an upgrade in your

staging area and place it on an empty upgrade space on any attraction, anywhere in your

park. The cost to install an upgrade is shown on the space. You must be able to pay the

amount immediately and in full.

Each attraction can only have 1 of each type of upgrade. You can never install 2 matching

upgrades on a single attraction. After you install an upgrade it will operate in the current

round and in all later rounds. You cannot move or remove an upgrade after you install it

(unless you use the ability of the Builder staff card).

Merch kiosk

The attraction will now earn $2 each time it is operated.

Special effect

The attraction will now earn an additional 2★ each time it is operated.

Generator

The generator adds a second operate icon to the attraction. This means you

can operate the attraction twice in a single round.

12 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 13 of 23

If you played the Builder staff card, you can use

the ability during this phase.

Pay $1 less each time you install an upgrade (which

you can do twice). In addition, before you install any

new upgrades, you may return one previously

installed upgrade to your supply below your board,

allowing you to install it on a different attraction in

this or a later round.

5. Operate (free choice, simultaneous)

All the players now run their parks simultaneously, choosing to operate individual attractions

one by one. You can operate as many or as few of the attractions in your park as you wish,

in any order you choose. Any number of dice, with any combination of colours and values,

can be present on an attraction at the same time.

This part of the game can get a little tricky. In your first game, we

recommend that you play this phase in turn order, for at least the first

two rounds, so that everyone can learn how to run their own park. The

first player should finish running their park before the next player starts.

Operating an attraction

Every time you operate an attraction, you must follow all of these four steps in order.

Always finish operating one attraction before starting to operate another. Don’t immediately

take stars or money from the supply when you operate your attractions. You will instead

account for everything you earn during the Upkeep phase (phase 6).

Place cube

Choose an attraction and place an operate cube on the operate icon. Each operate icon can

only accept one cube each round. A generator upgrade adds a second operate icon, which

means you can operate the attraction again, either immediately or at any time later in the

13 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 14 of 23

round. Your Park Entrance has a pre-printed generator upgrade, so can always be operated

twice.

You can install up to 3 generator upgrade tiles on different attractions.

Remember that each attraction can only have 1 of each type of upgrade,

so you can never install 2 generators on a single attraction!

Assemble party

You must choose one or more dice from among those on the attraction to create a ‘party’

that can fulfil the attraction’s operation requirement. If you can’t do this, you can’t operate the

attraction (and so cannot place an operate cube). All operation requirements are explained

in detail on page XX.

Pip down

You must ‘pip down’ every die in the party you assembled. Reduce the value of each of

these dice by 1. If a die in the party is at value 1 it cannot be pipped down. You must instead

discard the die and return it to the dice bag. Do not pip down any other dice on the same

attraction.

Move die

You must move exactly one of the dice you pipped down to an adjacent attraction. If the

party contained 2 or 3 dice, you choose which single die to move. If the party contained only

1 die, you must move that die, unless it was at value 1 and was therefore removed.

In this example, Blue chooses to operate the Park Entrance. The Park Entrance has an

operation requirement of just one guest die of any colour.

Blue chooses to assemble a party made up of the green 3 (Blue could have chosen any

single die). Blue pips down this die to value 2 and then moves it to the Spooky Forest.

Blue must pip down and move the green die. Both steps are mandatory.

Blue may now operate another attraction, or operate the Park Entrance again and repeat

these steps with a different die (the Park Entrance has a second operate icon).

14 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 15 of 23

In this example, Green first chooses to operate the Log Flume. Green assembles a party

containing the yellow 4 and blue 5, which together fulfil its operation requirement (any die

and a blue die of a higher value). Green pips down both dice, and chooses to use the

mandatory die movement to move the blue 4 to the Ferris Wheel.

Green can now operate the Ferris Wheel, and assembles a party containing the yellow 1

and blue 4, which together fulfil its operation requirement (an odd yellow die and any even

die). After operating the Ferris Wheel, Green must pip down the blue die to value 3, and

must discard the yellow 1 since it cannot be pipped down. He must move the blue die, so

chooses to move it to the Duck Pond — which means that the Duck Pond can now be

operated!

If you played the Manager staff card, you can use

the ability during this phase.

Choose one attraction that has no available operate

icons, and operate that attraction again. Place an

additional operate cube on the attraction when you

do this.

Maps

You can use each of your face-up map tiles once at any time during this phase to move a

single guest die to an adjacent attraction.

When you use a map tile, flip it face down. You can use multiple maps to move a single die

more than once. You do not have to use all of your map tiles.

15 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 16 of 23

In this example, Green wants to move the blue 5 from the Park Entrance to the Log

Flume. Green flips two map tiles face down and moves the die twice.

If you played the Guide staff card, you can use the

ability during this phase.

Move any one guest die from any attraction to any

other attraction, anywhere in your park, without

using any of your map tiles.

Mascots

You can use each of your mascots at any time during this phase to adjust the value or colour

of a guest die or, in the full game, use the ability of the mascot’s skill card.

When you use a mascot, move it from your staging area and place it on an attraction. You

can use each mascot once during the round. You do not have to use all of your mascots.

Adjust value

Change the value of a guest die +1 or –1 (turn the die and set it to the new value). You can

adjust the value of a single die more than once during a round.

16 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 17 of 23

In this example, Green wants to operate the Log Flume, which requires any one die and a

blue die of a higher value. Green uses a mascot to add 1 to the value of the blue die,

changing it from a 4 into a 5. Green can now operate the attraction!

Adjust colour

Temporarily ignore the colour of the die, and instead treat the die as if it were a colour that

can fulfil the attraction’s operation requirement. The adjustment only lasts for a single

operation. Do not actually swap the die for one of a different colour!

In this example, Green wants to operate the Log Flume, which requires any one die and a

blue die of a higher value. Green uses a mascot to ignore the colour of the yellow 5 and

treat the die as if it were blue instead. Green can now operate the attraction!

Use skill

In the full game, each mascot has an associated skill card. Each time you use a mascot you

may either use it to adjust the value or colour of a guest die as explained above, or use the

ability of its skill card. All the skill card abilities are explained on page XX.

If you played the Mascot staff card, you can use

part of the ability during this phase.

Each time you play a mascot, you may make one

additional adjustment to any one guest die on the

same attraction. This does not allow you to use the

ability of a skill card for a second time.

17 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 18 of 23

6. Upkeep (mandatory, simultaneous)

Earn stars & money

Each player looks at all of their attractions in turn. For each operate cube on an attraction,

take a number of star tokens and money from the supply:

● Earn stars (★) equal to the number shown next to the operation requirement.

● Earn an additional 2★ if a special effect upgrade is installed on the attraction.

● Earn $2 if a merch kiosk upgrade is installed on the attraction.

Remove the operate cubes one by one and put them back in your staging area. Keep the

star tokens you collect beside your park and put any money you earn in your staging area.

After you’ve removed all your operate cubes, add up the total number of stars you earned.

Move your score marker that far forward on the central score track, and then return any star

tokens to the supply. If you earn over 100★, move your marker back to the start of the track

and place your score tile beside the ‘0’ space with ‘100★’ showing. If you earn over 200★,

do the same and flip your score tile over to show ‘200★’.

Evaluate objective

During rounds 3 and 4 (and, in the full game, round 5), check to see how well the players

have met the round’s objective, and rank the players into 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, as

appropriate.

● 2 players: 1st place earns 4★.

● 3 players: 1st place earns 6★, 2nd place earns 3★.

● 4 players: 1st place earns 8★, 2nd place earns 4★, 3rd place earns 2★.

If players are tied, add up the stars awarded for the tied positions and divide this number

equally amongst the tied players, rounding up.

18 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 19 of 23

In this example, the round’s objective is ‘Most money’. Yellow currently has $9, Blue and

Green each have $5, and Grey has $4.

Yellow is in 1st place, so earns 8★. Blue and Green are tied for 2nd place. Add the

awards for 2nd and 3rd place (4★ + 2★) and divide this total (6★) equally between the

tied players. Blue and Green each earn 3★. Grey is in 4th place and earns no stars.

Prepare for next round

Unless the game is over, everyone prepares for the next round as follows.

Value 1 dice

Each player must discard every value 1 guest die anywhere in their park. Put these dice

back in the dice bag.

If you played the Ticket Agent staff card, you can

use the ability during this phase.

You may choose any one guest die of value 1 in

your park, that you would otherwise have discarded

during the Upkeep phase, and put it back on your

Park Entrance, set to any value.

Staff cards

Each player passes the 2 staff cards they played to the player on their left, and takes the 2

staff cards passed to them by the player on their right into their hand, so they once again

have 6 staff cards to choose from in the next round.

Maps & mascots

Flip all your maps face up, and out all your mascots back in your staging area. In the full

game, put each mascot back on a different skill card.

19 ● Dice Theme Park: Rules (v3.1) © 2021 Alley Cat Games

Page 20 of 23

Monorail

All players put their monorails back beside the main board. Put the guest dice on the

unclaimed monorail back in the bag. Then, refill all of the monorails by randomly drawing

guest dice from the bag one by one, just as you did during setup.

Attractions

Put any face-up attraction tiles that remain in the display into a face-up discard pile, separate

from the other stacks. Then, create a new display by revealing a number of new tiles equal

to the number of players plus one, as you did during setup.

● Introductory game: When preparing for round 2, draw tiles from stack A. When

preparing for rounds 3 and 4, draw tiles from stack B.

● Full game: When preparing for rounds 2 and 3, draw tiles from stack A. When

preparing for rounds 4 and 5, draw tiles from stack B.

Skill cards

In the full game, put any skills cards that remain in the display into a face-up discard pile,

then create a new display by dealing a number of new skill cards from the deck equal to the

number of players plus one, as you did during setup.

Round marker

Move the round marker one space along the round track. Now start the next round.

End of the game

The game ends after 4 rounds (or, in the full game, 5 rounds). Each player earns an

additional 1★ for every $3 they have in their staging area. Move your score marker on the

score track to record this. The player who has earned the most stars in total is the winner.

If two or more players tie, the tied player with the most guest dice remaining in their park

wins. (Before settling the tie, players must discard any value 1 guest dice from their parks. If

you played the Ticket Agent staff card, return one value 1 die to your park as normal.) If

players remain tied, the tied player with the most money wins. If still tied, then the tied

players jointly win.

Administrators

In the full game, you choose 1 administrator card during setup. Keep your administrator face

up in your staging area.

Phase 6: Upkeep

Once each round, if you discard a die of the depicted colour you may

put it back on your Park Entrance, set to any value.

Phase 5: Operate

Each time you operate an attraction of the depicted colour, you may

choose not to pip down one guest die of that colour in the assembled

party.

Phase 6: Upkeep

Each round, earn an additional 1★, 2★ or 3★ if you have operated

at least 3, 4 or 5 different attractions of the depicted colour.

Phase 6: Upkeep

Each round, earn an additional 1★, 2★ or 3★ if you have operated

at least 6, 7 or 8 different attractions.

Phase 6: Upkeep

Each round, earn an additional 1★, 2★ or 4★ if you have at least 2,

4 or 5 mascots.

Phase 3: Welcome

Each round, after everyone has chosen a monorail, you may take a

single guest die from the remaining monorail and put it in your Park

Entrance without changing its value.

End of the game

Earn an additional 1★ for every $2 you have remaining, instead of

earning 1★ for every $3 as normal.

Phase 3: Expand

Each round, pay $2 less to recruit a mascot.

Phase 6: Upkeep

Once during the game, before you pass staff cards during the

Upkeep phase (phase 6) you may swap a card you played with one

in your hand. You must do this before you take the cards passed to

you by the player on your right. If you use this ability, put the

administrator card back in the box.

time you recruit a mascot. Keep your skill cards face up in your staging area. In each round,

each of your mascots is associated with a different skill card. If you use a mascot during the

vice versa.
