Play Summary: The goal: trap your opponents' pawns before they trap yours. Last pawn free wins! Bright Got 'Em! (use colored side of the board) In Bright Got 'Em!, each player starts with 3 cards and pawn. Place your pawn on the same-colored start square (one of the four squares at the corners of the board's center square). The player who's birthday is closest, goes first. On your turn you will play a card, following each rule in the order they appear. Most cards have 2 instructions. The first tells you where you can place a wall and the second how many square you can move your pawn.

Wall Placement Rules:
• Walls can only be placed along one edge of a square, between two squares.
• When a player's pawn is trapped by walls in a single square, that player is eliminated from the game. The edge of the board counts as a wall.
• There are a few cards that allow you to remove a wall or pass through a wall. However, you have to play these cards before your pawn is trapped!
• Once your pawn is trapped in a single square, you're out and your pawn is removed from the board.
• When you trap another player's pawn, thus eliminating him from the game, you may remove any 1 wall from the board.

Moving Your Pawn
• Most cards allow you to move your pawn up to a specific number of squares.
• You can't move through walls, unless you play a card that allows it.
• You can't move through a square occupied by another pawn.
• You may only move orthogonally, never diagonally.
• You can stay where you are.
• You don't have to move the exact number of squares listed on the card. You can move fewer squares if you want.
• You can move zig zag, first in one direction, then in another, just not diagonally up to the number of squares specified on the card you played.

After placing a wall and moving (or not), discard the card you played and draw another. (You should always have 3 cards in your hand.) Play passes to the player on your left.

The last player to have a pawn on the board wins!
