The object of the game is to be the first player to explore and mess up the objects given to you at the beginning of the game. In a two player game, each character must mess up 6 objects to win. In a three player game, 4 objects; and in a four player game, 3 objects. To start, put together the 3D game board, put the neat sides of all the items into their respective slots on the game board. Put the Mom and Dad marker on the spot on the game board with the star. Select a Rugrat and place it in the playpen, then deal two cards to each player. The remaining cards form the draw deck.
