WINNING
The player with the most Gag Points at the end of the game wins.
GAME END
The game ends when a Gag card needs to be replaced on the
Board, and there are none left in the Gag Deck.
THE DECKS
There are 2 decks:
1. The Gag Deck
2. The Kid Deck
THE GAG DECK
These cards form the Board.
They are claimed by players and are worth Gag Points.
In order to be claimed they require the player to move his pawn onto
that card and discard 2 Kid cards of the indicated type.
THE KID DECK
There are 2 basic types of Kid Cards:
1. Main Characters
2. Peanut Gallery
There are 4 Suites of Main Characters:
1. Charlie Brown
2. Snoopy
3. Linus
4. Lucy
Each suite has 10 cards (All identical).
There are 12 Peanut Gallery cards each listing
one supporting Character.
PAWNS
Each player gets a unique pawn.
Ideally each pawn is miniature statue of one of the
Peanuts characters (especially the Main Characters).
DICE
Six sided dice are needed.
THE BOARD
The board is a 6 X 6 Grid.
Each space will contain 1 face-up Gag card.
As Gag cards are claimed during play they will be
immediately replenished by the Gag Deck.
SETUP
Each player chooses a pawn.
Shuffle the Decks.
Place 1 Gag card face-up onto each of the 36 spaces on the Board.
Each player is dealt 2 Kid cards.
Players roll high on 1D6 to see who goes first. Reroll ties.
Players place their Pawns in separate corner spaces.
If playing with 5 or more players, use the 4 center spaces as
allowable starting spaces also.
TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns.
Each turn has 5 Phases:
1. Draw Phase
2. Roll Phase
3. Move Phase
4. Claim Phase
5. End Phase
DRAW PHASE
Draw 2 Kid Cards from the top of the Kid Deck and put them in your hand.
If the Kid deck ever runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.
Next if your pawn is adjacent to any opponent’s pawns, you may trade
Kid cards from your hands. Trades must be agreeable to both parties.
ROLL PHASE
Roll one die.
MOVE PHASE
You may move your pawn a number of spaces equal to the
number you rolled in Roll Phase OR Less.
Moves may be orthogonal or diagonal.
You may not land in the same space occupied by another pawn.
You may move through (past, over) other player’s pawns.
You must move if you are at all able.
If somehow you cannot move (blocked), reroll the die.
CLAIM PHASE
You may claim the Gag card in the space your pawn currently occupies.
Each Gag card lists 2 Kid cards that must be discarded in order to claim it.
Place the claimed card into your Gag pile.
Next, replace the gag card you just claimed with the top card of the
Gag deck. If there are no Gag cards left, the game ends.
END PHASE
Max hand size is 7 cards.
Discard excess cards.
PEANUT GALLERY CARDS
The Secondary Character cards in the Kid Deck have a variety of extra uses:
1. Discard 1 Secondary Character to increase the result of a roll by 1 or 2.
2. Discard 2 Secondary Characters to draw 3 Kid Cards and discard any 2 from your hand.
3. Discard 2 Secondary Characters to cause a target Gag card on the board to
be discarded and then replaced.
4. Discard 1 Secondary Character to get a second move roll (Make a second move right
after your first, in effect, you get a second Roll & Move Phase right after the first).
5. Discard 1 Secondary Character after you have made a Claim to get an extra
Roll, Move, and Claim Phase!
