| MOVEMENT CHEAT SHEET |
|
While gathering chips to capture your Geist, you can simplify your movements by staying within a single triangle on the board, and use the cheat sheet below. When you are close to obtaining the lure of the Geist, navigate towards its headstone, picking up the last few chips you need along the way to minimize your moves.

 |
From: |
You can land on: |
20 |
2, 4, 6, 15, and certain 1s |
15 |
3, 5, 10, and certain 1s |
10 |
3, 5, and certain 1s |
6 |
2, 4, 15, 20, and certain 1s |
5 |
2, 4, 6, 15, 20, and certain 1s |

2, 6, 15, 20, and certain 1s |
3 |
2, 4, 6, 15, 20, and certain 1s |
2 |
4, 6, and certain 1s |
|
| |
Due to the symmetry of the board, this cheat sheet works anywhere on the board for the big numbers such as 20, 15 and 10. For example, if a 20 can land you on a 15, it can land you on any 15 on the board. However, a 3 can only land you on a 15 that is 3 steps away, and not any 15 on the board. |
| |
| OPTION FOR ADVANCED PLAY |
To capture a Geist:
1. You must land on the Geist's Headstone.
2. Pick up the last chip you need for the exact lure (no more, no less) of the Geist.
3. Show your chips to the other players before returning them.
4. Then lay the Geist Card down, straight and face-up in front of you.
