Operating (How to Play)

The objective of Slow Race! is to be the first player to guide your sloth figure to the hammock at the very top of the tree.

1. Player Turns: Determine the starting player (e.g., youngest player, dice roll). Play proceeds clockwise.
2. Moving Your Sloth: On your turn, you will use your climbing strips to move your sloth. The specific rules for playing climbing strips and moving sloths are detailed on the game board or in the included rule sheet. Generally, players strategically place strips to advance their sloth or hinder opponents.
3. Reaching the Hammock: Continue playing turns, moving your sloth along the climbing strips. The first player whose sloth reaches the hammock at the top of the jungle board wins the game.

The game is designed for quick and engaging play, making it ideal for travel.
