 RULES OF THE GAME
Introduction:
Welcome to the colonial era. India is under the
tyranny of the British Raj and sparks of rebellion
flare across the country. You seek to ignite the
nation and overthrow the oppressors. Sabotage
the Raj’s occupied territories to free them and
become a part of India’s freedom struggle.
Objective:
Free 6 territories by the end of 8 turns by
allocating dice rolls to different tracks and using
the dice values required by each territory.
Setup:
Take 5 six-sided dice, the Game Sheet and a
pen/pencil. 4 of the dice are your Resource dice.
1 die is the British Power die. If possible choose a
unique colored die for this.
Gameplay Overview:
Each turn you will roll dice, allocate them to the 4
resources and use the values to move around the
map and take over locations.
Resources:
A. Influence - Influence allows you to move
across the map.
B. Money - Needed to free locations.
C. Rebellion - Needed to free locations.
D. Weapons - Needed to free locations.
How to Play:
Start Position: Determine the start position by
rolling any single die. If its value is 1 or 2, you
start at Barrackpore, If 3 or 4 at Amritsar and if 5
or 6 you start at Dandi.
Turn Sequence:
Step 1: Generating resources - Roll the 4 resource
dice. Choose and allocate one die each to the 4
resources. Based on the rolled value, place the die
on the respective value box. These are the means
with which you will go about freeing territories.
You cannot allocate more than 1 dice to a
resource.
Example:
You roll 1, 3, 5, and 6 and choose to allocate:
3 to Influence: Place the die on the box with 3 pips
under Influence.
1 to Money: Place the die on the box with 1 pip under
Money.
5 to Rebellion: Place the die on the box with 5 pips
under Rebellion.
6 to Weapons: Place the die on the box with 6 pips
under Weapons.
Step 2 British Response - Roll the die assigned to
British Power. Reduce the value of the result
from the generated resources in Step 1. You can
spread the reduction across the resource types.
Slide the respective dice to the left against the
results of the British die result. You do not flip
the dice.
Example:
The British roll result is 4. You choose to reduce 2
from Weapons, 1 from Money and 1 from Rebellion.
Slide the respective dice to the left i.e. Weapons die
from the box with 6 pips to 4, Rebellion die from 5 to 4
and remove the Money die as it only had 1 allocated to
it. The face of each die remains the same.
You will now have:
A. 3 Influence
B. 0 Money
C. 4 Rebellion
D. 4 Weapons
Step 2: British Response - Roll the die assigned
to British Power. Reduce the value of the result
from the generated resources in Step 1. You can
spread the reduction across the resource types.
Slide the respective dice to the left against the
results of the British die result. You do not flip
the dice.
Example:
The British roll result is 4. You choose to reduce 2
from Weapons, 1 from Money and 1 from Rebellion.
Slide the respective dice to the left i.e. Weapons die
from the box with 6 pips to 4, Rebellion die from 5 to 4
and remove the Money die as it only had 1 allocated to
it. The face of each die remains the same.
You will now have:
A. 3 Influence
B. 0 Money
C. 4 Rebellion
D. 4 Weapons
Step 3: Use the resources to take the below
actions. The actions can be done in any order.
1. Move - Use influence to move. Reduce 1
influence per move. 1 unit of movement is:
Moving from Territory to Circle / Moving from
Circle to Circle / Moving from Circle to
Territory. Moving from Amritsar to Calcutta
requires 5 moves. Cross each circle to mark the
movement. When both territories linked by a
path are freed, fill the circles of the path
completely.
2. Free Territories - You will need to be in the
territory to free it. Each territory will require a
combination of Money [M] | Rebellion [R] |
Weapons [W] to free. The type and value are
listed at the top left of the territory box. If you are
able to free the location, use the resources and
slide the dice left by the amount used. Cross off
the territory when you free it. You must free a
territory in a single turn. You cannot combine
dice rolls across turns to free a territory.
3. Power Up - Once you free a territory, fill the
small triangle within it. This means you gain a
resource. Add a small triangle beside any 1 of the
resource names. This stored resource can be
used only once anytime to add to that resource
die’s total in the future. Once used, cross off the
triangle. (You can even use it to add to a value of
6).
Continuing Example:
Amritsar requires 3 Rebellion and 4 Weapons. Use the
resources and slide the respective dice to the left. You
cross Amritsar, fill the triangle and add it to Money.
Using the 2 Influence you move towards Lahore by
crossing off two circles. You are now 1 step away from
Lahore.
Now Lets
Sabotage
the
Raj!!
Step 4: If you have unused resource/s, you can
choose to retain them by keeping the dice where
they are. This represents the resource count for
the next turn. If not remove all dice from
resources. Cross off a square in the turn count
section to complete one (1) turn.
Start the next turn with Step 1 again. If you stored
any resource in the previous round, you roll the
remaining dice. As you cannot allocate more than
1 dice to a resource, assign the rolled dice to the
unallocated resources.
Additional Rules:
1. It is not mandatory to use all influence points.
2. You can move into and out of a territory on the
same turn.
3. You can move, try to free/free a territory and
move again.
4. You can move back to already traversed
territory as well.
5. Filled in paths and crossed territories do not
require influence to move into/from. When
moving between freed territories, you do not need
to use any influence.
6. If you use all of any resource, remove the
allocated die which you will use to roll in the next
turn.
7. If you start your turn in a British occupied
territory, add 1 to the British die roll (unless it is a
6). Only exception to this is when you start the
game, on your first turn.
8. Only on the 5th turn:
If you have at least 4 territories, increase British
Die roll by 1.
If you have 2 or less territories, reduce British Die
roll by 1.
