Description (714 chars)

The joker reigns supreme in this family game of luck and simple strategy! Link the gameboard segments together and select your colored pegs. Now take turns moving your pegs around the board by playing different playing cards. It's a race around the board! Play a five and move your peg five spaces. Play a ten and you may move your peg ten spaces. But an ace only moves you one space ahead, and an eight will move you backwards! Just when your peg is almost all the way around the board your opponent can play a joker and send you back Home! Win the game by moving all five of your pegs to your Home space first! For the versions with large one-piece wood boards instead of modular paddles, see Joker Marbles.
