Get Norm to Cheers! Rules
Norm is at home and wants to go to Cheers for a drink or two. But in order to get there he will come across some obstacles that slow him down. It is up to you to get Norm through the obstacles and to Cheers. There are 4 big obstacles and 4 detours in Norm's way. The 4 big obstacles are Vera at home, the Boston Marathon, St. Patrick's day parade, and a UFO abduction. In between the big obstacles there are detours.
There is a 'board game' upon which the game is played, and there are 8 characters to choose from for each person. They are Beer glasses, and can be downloaded and printed out below, along with the 'game board'. Other household items can be used for character pieces during the game, like coins. There is a printable graphic of the board game and a printable graphic with all characters available for download. You will also need some of Norm's $BEER coin.
To start the game everyone needs to put up 100 $BEER coin each before anyone rolls the dice. This can be done by having everyone send the coin to an agreed upon wallet to hold everyone's BEER coin. If you want to skip sending the BEER coin to a wallet during game play, you can download and use a premade score board and just keep track like that, and when the game is over each person sends their BEER coin to the winner. All the coin stays there until the first person makes it to Cheers, and that person wins the game. The winner takes all BEER coin. Furthermore, after someone has won the game it can still proceed until 3 or more players make it to Cheers. I leave it up to the players to decide if any new $BEER coin will be added to the game pot/wallet After someone has won. It is also up to the players to choose if that BEER coin (submitted to game wallet AFTER there is a winner) goes to the winner only, or to 2nd and 3rd place.
Before the game starts everyone MUST raise their drinks and say NORM! at the same time. All players start at Norm's home where Vera (his wife) is the first big obstacle. In order to get out of Norm's home you have to roll a 2, 6, or 12. You get 3 chances to roll the dice. If you roll a 2, 6, or 12 you can proceed to the first detour. And your turn ends. If you do not roll a 2, 6, or 12 after 3 times your turn ends and you have to wait for your next turn to try and get out of Norm's home and passed Vera.
After that you proceed to the first detour. Each person has to take a drink at the start of their turn when you are at a detour. You do not have to drink before your turn if you are in a big obstacle. If you are at a detour you have to send 25 BEER coin to the agreed upon wallet before you make your choice to roll the dice, and try your luck to skip passed the big obstacle, or simply go through big obstacle and surrender your turn. Each player must send the BEER coin before rolling dice for their turn Only when at a detour.
At each detour there are 4 possibilities: 1: Stay where you are (roll 6, 7, or 8), 2: Go Back to previous detour (roll 3, 4, 5), 3: Skip Forward and skip over the big obstacle to next detour or enter Cheers (roll 9, 10, 11) ** if you are at the first detour after leaving home, you cannot return to home, and the player remains at the first detour until that player can proceed.
[If you roll a 2 or 12 you have to roll again.]
4: OR you can skip your turn and go through the big obstacle by rolling the dice 3 times on your next turn.
If you decide to go through a big obstacle you have to roll the dice 3 times to make it to the next detour. If you roll a 2 or 12, 1 time out of 3, you have to start over at the detour prior to the big obstacle you are currently in AND take a drink. While navigating the big obstacle you are not obligated to take a drink or obligated to send 25 BEER coin to the game pot/wallet. ALSO: You only send BEER coin to the game wallet once while at home, at the start of the game.
The first person to make it to Cheers wins the game and all the $BEER coin added to the game wallet/pot.
