forgive us, we were 8 years old when we started playing it. My friend Andre got the game from his older brother who was too cool to explain the game to us.

One thing we didn't understand was the 4-sided dice. We didn't know what to look for, we threw the die, then picked it up and looked at the underside, if we saw "1 2 4" then we surmised the result was 3. Years later we realized there was an easier way.

Regardless, it was a blast and we were hooked.
