How to play
Play proceeds in a clockwise direction. The player who most recently flew on vacation goes
first. If this does not settle the starting order, the youngest player begins. He or she spins
the arrow.
The arrow must spin around a full circle at least once; otherwise it has to be spun again.
• Does the arrow come to rest pointing at the dice face showing a six?
Lucky you! Place one of your vacation bears on the starting square that matches your color
and spin again.
• Does the arrow come to rest pointing at a different dice number?
Spin Again! You can spin the arrow up to three times to try to land on a six allows a bear
to begin to fly.
The following rules apply once the bears have set off on their vacation:
• After taking off from the airport, the bears fly to the islands in a clockwise direction.
• If the arrow lands on six, the player can fly one of his/her bears off the runway over to the
starting square and immediately spin again.
• Only one bear may be on the starting square at a time.
• If a player spins a six and still has vacation bears at the home airport and they have no other
bear on their starting square, then a bear must be flown to their starting square.
• For flying purposes, all the squares count, including the occupied ones.
• A bear must always hop the precise number of islands that has been spun.
• If a player lands their bear on an island already occupied by another player's bear then the
other player's bear is ejected and sent back to its home airport.
• A player must always plan the flight of his or her bear so that it does not land on an island
that already has one of his or her own bears on it. If this is not possible, the move
is forfeited. Players cannot send their own bears back to their airport.
• Players can only fly their own bears to their destination squares.
• To land on the destination squares, the exact number must be spun.
• Bears cannot be ejected from any of their three destination islands; once they have landed
on a destination island they are safe.
End of game
The game ends with a win for the
player who has successfully landed his
or her three vacation bears on the three
destination islands of the matching color.
