Jackaroo is a board and card game played in teams, usually 4 or 6 players. You move your marbles around the board based on the cards you draw, racing them home before your opponents while teaming up with your partner. It is tactics, laughing, and friendly payback.
Moving backward from your start puts a marble right by your finish lane.
Swap two marbles to steal a forward spot or escape danger.
A marble at home is safe. One on the board can be hit.
If their marble is in danger, use your cards to cover it or hit the one behind it.
The six-player game uses two decks, and how the teams split varies by table.
Some tables let a 5 move any marble on the board, even an opponent's.
Jackaroo is a Saudi and Gulf favorite, in the same family as Tock and Sorry!.
