2. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your Goula First Race game:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all game pieces from the box. You should have several interlocking board pieces, four wooden cars, one color die, and one number die.
- Assemble the Track: Connect the modular board pieces to form the race track. Ensure all pieces fit snugly together to create a continuous path. The track typically forms a loop with a designated start and finish line.
- Place the Finish Arch: Position the red and white checkered finish arch at the designated finish line space on the track.
- Position the Cars: Each player selects a wooden car. Place all cars at the starting line of the track.
- Prepare the Dice: Place the color die and the number die within easy reach of all players.

3. Operating Instructions (How to Play)
The objective of Goula First Race is to be the first player to reach the finish line with their car.
Game Play:
- Player Turn: Players take turns in a clockwise direction.
- Roll the Dice: On your turn, roll both the color die and the number die.
- Move Your Car: Move your car forward the number of spaces indicated by the number die. You must land on a space that matches the color shown on the color die. If there are multiple spaces of that color within your movement range, choose one. If no space matches the color within your movement range, you do not move this turn.
- Special Spaces: The board may feature special spaces (e.g., traffic lights, tire marks, tunnels). Follow any instructions associated with the space you land on. For example, a traffic light might require you to stop for a turn, or a tire mark might allow an extra move.
- Reaching the Finish Line: To win, you must land exactly on the finish line space. If your roll takes you past the finish line, you remain on your current space and wait for your next turn to try again.
