Each Crisis Card has a short statement on the back that usually results in you moving back spaces or loosing items such as keys.
Clarissa Explains It All Cards:
These have a short Clarissa statement followed by a question relateing to the statement, there are then five choices for an answer. On the back of the card is the number of spaces you get to move from one to five depending on which answer you chose, you also can suggest your
own answer which can be used as explained in the how to play section. Here is an example
Car Cards:
These each have a picture of a different colored car, White Dodge Viper, Orange Cherokee Ltd, Pink Mustang, Yellow Beetle, Blue Jeep, and Green Ferrari.
Inserts For Stands:
These are fold over cards with the following items on, Bike, Skate Board, Sneakers, Moped, Roller Boots, and Sandles.
Keys:
There are two keys for each Car Card, i.e. 2 White, 2 Pink, 2 Yellow, 2 Orange, 2 Blue, and 2 Green keys.
Firstly each player select a stand and insert (these identify each player), place all at start position. Then go through steps below.
STEP 1 - Choose a reader. The reader takes a Clarissa Explains Card and reads the question and possible answers out loud.
STEP 2 - Each player, including the reader, chooses what they believe is the best answer given and writes down the number on their paper.
STEP 3 - Each player makes up their own answer and writes it down.
STEP 4 - The reader turns over the card and, one by one, tells each player how many spaces they get to move on the board based on the answer they chose of the five possible answeres given.
STEP 5 - Move ahead the number of spaces the reader tells you and do what the space tells you.
STEP 6 - See if any of your made up answers match. Any player who matched any other player gets to take a key. Only take one key per turn.
STEP 7 - Go to the next Clarissa Explains It All Card and repeat steps above.
The basic aim is to collect Keys and a Driving License as you go around the board as you pass the start and if you have both a key and a driving license you can pic up a car card (which are face down on the board) if the car color matches a key color you have, then you win the car. Winner is person with most cars. Note the die is used as instructed on certain board square to obtain keys etc.
Certain squares on board instruct the collection of keys, licenses, Crisis cards, and Rescue cards.
Rescue cards can be used to counter act Crisis cards, but once used must be returned to bottom of pile. Only 3 Rescue cards can be held at a time by a player. Only one License can be held at a time.
Also Keys and Rescue cards can be swapped between players, they can also be swapped for each other i.e. Key for Rescue card.
You may also make up your own Clarissa Cards.
Finally since this is meant to be the brief overview, there are certain squares on the board that tell you to phone a friend or make a snack etc. (If you want).
