The players get to play as the Toa Mata on the adventure/quest to defeat The Makuta. All players start at the starting piece (which is a puzzle-like to connect with the other 19 pieces) and roll a green-color dice to see who goes first (later use as the game progress). Then all players use the white-color dice to officially start the game. To get another board piece in play; one or all players must land at the portal spaces.
