Players roll dice and move around the board gaining colors by marking their score sheets with the color of the space they land on (each depicting the name of a Mackinac Island merchant.) When a player collects 7 of any color, he moves to one of two dock spaces. From there, players attempt to roll specific combinations in order to advance to the island and collect a Historic card, and then return back to start. Historic cards are worth 75-150 points. First one to 500 points wins.
