Game Set Up
The last person to have to have exercised becomes the first player.
Take a number of dice equal to the number of players plus 1 additional dice (i.e. in a 4 player game take 5 dice).
Turn Order
The first player rolls all the dice.
They then choose one dice, remove it from play, and write the number onto their game sheet.
They must follow the rules of the individual sports when writing the number (see below).
The player on their right now chooses a dice, removes it from play and writes the number on their game sheet.
This continues until the first player takes a second dice, then the player to the right becomes the first player for the next round.
Before choosing a dice, players may use any of their coaches to re-roll the dice, flip the dice to the opposite number or add 1 to the dice number. You may only use each coach once per game.
Game End
When a player can no longer write a number on their game sheet, they must pass their turn and the competition for them is now over. Remember to remove a dice each time a player has finished.
The game ends when all players have passed, then medals for 1st, 2nd and 3rd are awarded for each sport.
Players are awarded points based on the medal earned. Gold earns 5 points, silver earns 3 points and bronze earns 1 point. The player with the most points wins.
Some sports have tiebreakers listed below in the case of a tie, if there is still a tie after any of these then the medal is shared between those players.
Sports Overview
Sport Climbing
Sport Climbing is a race to the top. On their turn players may cross off the lowest number on the climbing wall. The first player to cross off the 6 is the winner.
If the game ends with nobody reaching the top, whoever made it the furthest wins.

To complete a hole the sum of the dice used must add up to greater than or equal to the number in the flag.

The winner is whoever finished the course with the least amount of dice used. In case of a tie, lowest sum of dice wins.
In the case no player finished the course, the player with more holes completed is considered the winner.
