• 2 Cherries
• 4 Straws
• 1 Challenge Die

• 120 Challenge Cards (40 SOLO, 40 CO-OP, 40 H2H)
• Instructions

Objective

The object of the game is to be the first one to build a Root Beer Float using the Ingredient Cards. In order to get an Ingredient Card, you must successfully complete a challenge which uses that ingredient.

Setup

Prior to starting the game, first separate the Ingredient Cards into four piles, one for each ingredient: root beer, ice cream, straw and cherry.

Next, separate the Challenge Cards into three piles, ingredient side up, one for each challenge type: solo, co-op and h2h.

Dice Rules

• solo: The player goes it alone to complete the SOLO challenge.
• co-op: The player selects any other player to help complete a COOPERATIVE challenge.
• h2h: The player selects any other player to compete against in a HEAD-TO-HEAD challenge.

Gameplay

1. Play goes clockwise, starting with the oldest player.
2. The player whose turn it is rolls the die and selects the corresponding Challenge Card. For example, a SOLO roll results in the player selecting a blue SOLO Challenge Card.
3. The player then uses the ingredients on the front side of the Challenge Card in an attempt to perform the challenge on the back side of the card.
4. If a player successfully performs a SOLO challenge they can pick any one Ingredient Card used in the challenge.
5. In a CO-OP challenge the player whose turn it is can pick any other player as a partner. If the players successfully complete the challenge together, they both get to pick any one Ingredient Card used in the challenge.
6. In an H2H challenge the player whose turn it is can pick any other player as a competitor. The player who wins the challenge gets to pick any one Ingredient Card used in the challenge.
7. For CO-OP or H2H challenges: The player who draws the Challenge Card gets to pick which player is P1 (Player 1) and P2 (Player 2) after reading the card.

Difficulty Levels

Adjust the game to fit your skill level. Each player (or pair of players) gets three tries for BEGINNER, two tries for STANDARD, and one try for EXPERT, to complete a SOLO (or CO-OP) challenge.

Winning

The first player to build their Root Beer Float by getting all four Ingredient Cards wins!
