Every turn on the Board Game Island follows the same simple loop: roll, count, move. Getting this right keeps the race fair and fast.
Rolling and Moving
1.** Only roll when the player before you has finished moving.
2. Roll the dice. Use the dice the map gives you, and announce the result in chat or over voice so everyone can hear it.
3. Count your spaces. The ground is laid out as a path of spaces. Move forward exactly as many spaces as you rolled, counting each space as you step onto it.
4. Stop on the right space. Stand still on the space where your count ends, and tell the next player it is their turn.
Tips for Clean Turns
- Walk, don't sprint. Moving slowly makes it easier to count spaces without overshooting. You can also hold Shift to sneak so you don't slide past the space you want.
- Follow the path, not a shortcut. The goal is to reach the end by following the route. Cutting across the island breaks the game for everyone.
- Have someone double-check. If a move is disputed, a second player can recount the spaces from where the turn started.
- Keep the pace up. Quick turns keep the whole group engaged, especially with lots of players.
Repeat the loop turn after turn until someone reaches the end.
