Setup

1. Adult Assembly: Adult assembly of the game board and rhino figure is required prior to first use. Follow any specific assembly instructions provided in the packaging.
2. Place Game Board: Place the Rhino Rampage game board on a flat, stable surface.
3. Distribute Birds: Each player selects a color of bird pieces. Place your bird pieces on the designated starting spaces on the game board.
4. Prepare Rhino: Ensure the rhino figure is securely in place on the game board.

How to Play

The objective of the Rhino Rampage Game is to be the first player to successfully move all of your bird pieces to safety on the rhino's back.

1. Starting the Game: The youngest player typically goes first, or players can roll the die to determine the starting player.
2. Rolling the Die: On your turn, roll the game die.
3. Moving Birds:
   • If the die shows a number, move one of your bird pieces that many spaces along the path towards the rhino's back.
   • If the die shows the "Rhino Rampage" symbol, you must activate the rhino's rumbling mechanism (usually by pulling its tail).
4. Rhino Rampage: When the rhino rumbles, any bird pieces on its back or on unstable parts of the board may be knocked off. If your bird piece falls off, it must return to its starting position or a designated penalty space, as per specific game rules (refer to packaging for detailed rules if available).
5. Reaching Safety: Continue rolling and moving your birds. The goal is to get all your bird pieces onto the designated safe spots on the rhino's back.
6. Winning the Game: The first player to successfully get all their bird pieces to safety on the rhino's back wins the game.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your Rhino Rampage Game:

• Cleaning: Wipe game pieces and the board with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

• Handling: Handle the rhino's rumbling mechanism gently to prevent wear and tear.

Troubleshooting

• Rhino Not Rumbling: If the rhino's mechanism does not activate or seems weak, ensure it is properly assembled and that no foreign objects are obstructing its movement. Check the tail mechanism for any damage.
• Missing Pieces: If any pieces are missing upon opening, refer to the manufacturer's contact information (if available) for assistance.
• Birds Falling Too Easily/Not Easily Enough: The game is designed for unpredictable movement. Ensure the game board is on a level surface. The sensitivity of the rhino's rumble may vary slightly.
