If a player rolls a number where they already have a MARKER then they are able to move that MARKER up one space. If the player already has a piece in their color on that column, then the MARKER would go one space further. If a player rolls a number (or pair of numbers) where they do not already have a MARKER then they place a MARKER at the start of that column, provided they have a MARKER left. An example roll of 5 / 6 / 4 / 1 which can equate to 11 and 5 or 10 and 6 or 7 and 9 So here you roll 1 / 1 / 1 / 4 and can choose from 2 and 5 because rolling three of a kind makes it that simple This roll gives you the options of 6 and 5 or 7 and 4 After rolling the dice, players choose two numbers and then place a MARKER on those numbers on the board. These dice rolls determine which columns you get a stab at for that turn. Then players take any single combination of those dice to make a pair of numbers. So on a first turn the board may look like this, where the first player is trying to capture progressĮach player in turn rolls four dice. If you keep pressing your luck and then blow it, the white MARKER tokens are removed from the board for the next player to use. If you decide your turn is over and stop rolling, you replace the white MARKER tokens with your own tokens to lock in your progress. These MARKERs are used to indicate the potential progress you can make that turn. Then the game includes 3 white MARKER pieces. Only 11 are needed for play, but the 12th does help them look like chocolate bars.) Thusly (NOTE: the extra pieces are not unique to my copy every copy I have ever found at thrift includes extra pieces. Then you win!Įach player has twelve pieces in their color, one for each number on the board, plus one extra for some reason. how it playsĬan’t Stop is a press your luck game where your goal is to be the first player to complete three columns of the board.

But I do remember the day I found it for the first time at thrift. Can’t Stop is one of those classic vintage board games that it seems you are just informed of, maybe in dreams, when you become interested in vintage board games.

I don’t remember how I first learned about Can’t Stop. Tagline: HOW FAR CAN YOU PUSH YOUR LUCK? how we met
