Yeah, it's a little tricky. I realise I should've made it clearer that the plus sign-tiles increases how many rolls you have left, based on what side is up when you land on them. So it might be worth taking a detour to get a higher number.
Oh that's why! Will try again.
The game isn't much longer than you already played, but it will require you to pay attention to the sides of the die to beat it.
I followed your advice and it made the experience a lot better, thank you.
