SHL Race to the Cup!

This is a made up, four player game. There are four player pieces, they are:
1. Forward
2. Defense
3. Goalie
4. Referee

The goal of the positional players is to beat the other players to the middle of the game board and win the championship (cup) for their team. The fourth player (Referee) is tasked with preventing the positional players from advancing by applying penalties or working with the, “game,” against the players when the players draw cards.

The game starts with all players rolling a single die (dice) to determine who plays first. The Referee will always play last, but this is to that players advantage. The game board is shaped like a hockey rink, with one player starting at both ends of the ice and the third player starting from center ice, however the distance that they have to travel from both ends of the ice/around the ice is the same.

Every turn, each player rolls the dice to advance further up the ice. Depending on what spot they stop on, they will have to draw a card. Cards can have a number of different options from goals, assists, awards and penalties. If they draw a goal card, they can advance two spots, if they draw an assist, they can advance one spot. Personal awards depend on the position played and you have to draw an award card for your specific position in order to advance. Referee’s have their own cards which allow them to apply penalties to either specific positional players, or a player of their choosing.

The first to make it to the finish line wins the cup.
