Each player in Croco Rider has twelve discs that they lay out in a circle on their half of the game board. These discs have values from 1 to 6 and from -1 to -6. The game board shows five crocodiles on it, with the crocodiles having 3-7 spaces on them. To start the game, a player places one of their discs on an empty crocodile space. The next player chooses a disc and places it on an empty space, whether on the same crocodile or a different one. On each subsequent turn, a player can play either disc from the open end of their circle. When a crocodile has two face-up discs on it, whether of the same or different colors, one of those discs is turned face down. If both discs are positive or negative, the disc closer to the crocodile's head wins and the other one is turned face down; if one disc is positive and the other negative, then the disc closer to the tail wins. Once all the pieces have been placed, the game ends. Whoever has their disc face up on a crocodile scores points for that disc, with the value being equal to the number on the disc (1-6) multiplied by the position of the disc on the crocodile from the tail forward. If the crocodile has four spaces, for example, and you have a 3 near the crocodile's head, then you score 12 points for it (3 x 4 for the fourth space on the crocodile). Whoever has the higher score wins.
