Level 7 – The Sierra Crest Steeplechase Track

Book should be completed and reviewed.
Spinner will have numbers 1-5
Participants will add the 2-4 grab bag tags
If member has two spins of 1 in a row, they will be asked to boost another randomized participant up to 15 spaces.
If member has two spins of 2 in a row, they will first move the 2 spaces and then miss their next turn. The 2 do not accumulate so if the following spin is a 2, it would count as the first.
