Place your playing piece on the Institute square. Then, each player rolls a die. The lowest roller will go first, and play will go around the table clockwise.

 

When it’s your turn, roll one six-sided die and advance that many spaces on the board. Before you roll the first time, declare whether you are traveling clockwise or counter-clockwise. (You’ll continue heading around the board that way until something happens to change your direction.)

 

In general, you roll the die, you move your piece, and you obey the instructions on the square that you land on. If these are not immediately clear to you, you can look up the square in Glorious Progress, a guidebook to the board.

 

Look at the outer ring of the board and note that six squares are larger than the others. These are the Major Squares, and they are the key points of business in the game. As you get close to each one, look it up in the Glorious Progress supplement and see if it’s going to be beneficial. If so, you can declare, before rolling for Movement, that you would like to stop at the Major Square. If you roll higher than the number required to reach the square, you stop in the square and do not complete the rest of your move.
