**Game description: **Role the die and move across tiles through paths and avoid obstacles! The goal is to get to the college.

- Roll the die to determine the number of spaces your rock will roll around the board.
- Your goal is to get to the college without getting cracked in half. You must avoid the jackhammers and the children!
- Use your magical conscience to know which way to go to avoid the young adolescents and power tools.
- If you are caught in a Preschool or a construction/demolition site, you must answer one question from the card deck to exit.
