Each numbered square has a moralizing rhyme for the players to read with rewards and penalties noted. The players who lands on square 20, for example, is a "Truant" and must lose his turn twice: "The truant to School must return, For such negligence cannot be look'd o'er; / And stay while each player turns twice,/ Then, perhaps, he'll be guilty no more." The winner was the first player to reach the "Mansion of Bliss" at the center of the board.
