Object

To be the first player to reach Care Bear Castle.

Equipment

Game board, 4 Care Bear movers (Birthday Bear, Good Luck Bear, Bedtime Bear, and Cheer Bear), and 4 plastic bases, 50 happy feeling star chips (8 hearts, 7 flowers, 7 moons, 7 clovers, 8 suns, 7 cupcakes, and 6 rainbows).

Set Up

1. Find the 9 happy feeling star chips that match the white row of stars on the side of the game board in front of you. Then place the star chips face up directly below the stars they match.
2. Choose the Care Bear mover that matches the one shown in the cloud above your row of stars. Fit it into a plastic base, then place it on the cloud.
3. The youngest player will go first. Play then proceeds, in turn, to the first player's left.

Playing

1. On your turn, spin the spinner.
2. EVERY player who has a star chip that matches the one you spin places that star chip face up onto the matching star. NOTE: You may place only 1 star chip on the board on each spin.
3. If you spin "-1 star," you, and only you, must remove one of your star chips from your side of the board.
4. As soon as you've matched all your star chips to the white row of stars on the board, you're ready for the race to Care Bear Castle!

Race to the Castle

1. Use your Care Bear mover to move up the yellow path of stars directly above the 9 stars you've matched.
2. When you or another player spins the symbol that matches the first yellow star on your path, place your Care Bear onto that star.
3. Move onto the next star when you or another player spins that star's symbol. But be sure you don't skip any stars on the path!
4. If you spin "-1 star," you, and only you, must move your Care Bear backwards 1 space. If your Care Bear was on the first star of the path, move the Care Bear back to his cloud. As soon as you or another player spins the first star's symbol, you may place your Care Bear onto that star once again.

Winning

The first player to move to the last star (the one outlined in red) on his or her path is welcomed into the Castle by Tenderheart Bear, and wins the game!
