Shake Up Game
Step up to Shake Up! Players try to move their pawns up four  playing surface levels and drop them through the Safe Zone holes. They  get three chances to shake the dice per turn; if they get either four  of a kind or a run of four, they step up to the next levelandget another turn. Shake it on the first try and demote an opponent to  the starting level. Only have three of a kind, two pairs, or a run of  three? That'll still move you up a level, but no extra turns. Two of a  kind? Sorry--pass the dice. What? None of the above? Penalty! Like  life, this step-by-step game of strategy for two to four players is  filled with ups and downs. One minute you're on the verge of the Safe  Zone, the next you're tossed like flotsam to the lowest level. The set  includes a dimensional plastic playing surface, 20 pawns (in red,  yellow, blue, and green), four dice, and instructions.--Emilie  Coulter
