    Can't Stop is a board game where players use dice rolls to advance colored playing pieces up columns on a game board, with the goal of being the first to claim three columns. To claim a column, a player must move one of their pieces from the bottom to the top of that column. On their turn, players roll four dice and can advance up to three white playing pieces on the board based on the dice combinations. They can then choose to end their turn and replace the white pieces with their own colored pieces, or roll again in an attempt to advance further. The first player to get their colored pieces to the top of three columns wins.

    Can’t Stop (designed by Sid Sackson)

    Can’t Stop has been in and out of print several times since 1980. Currently it’s out of print, so we’re playing on a
    simple paper gameboard, using generic wooden cubes as playing pieces.

    Goal
    The goal of this game is to “claim” three of the game board’s numbered columns. You claim a column if you can
    move one of your cubes from the bottom of that column to the top, according to the rules of the game. As soon as
    any player claims three columns, they win the game.

    Setup
    You should have the paper game board, a whole bunch of colored cubes, three white cubes, and four dice.

    Each player chooses a color (red, green, blue, or yellow) and collects all the cubes of that color. Set the white cubes
    aside for now.

    Players roll two dice to see who goes first. Reroll any ties. Highest total starts.

    On your turn
    Begin each turn by collecting the three white cubes, placing them off the board and in front of you.

    Your goal during your turn is to advance as far as you can up one, two, or three columns. You’ll use the white cubes
    to mark your progress during your turn. After every roll you’ll need to decide whether to stop and keep your
    progress, or try to advance even further – at the risk of losing your progress.

    Rolling
    Roll all four dice, then combine them into two pairs, any way you wish.

    Example

    If you roll 3, 4, 2, 6, then you can make these combinations:

    3+4 and 2+6 (7 and 8)


    3+2 and 4+6 (5 and 10)
    3+6 and 4+2 (9 and 6)

    (Yes, if you roll doubles / triples / quadruples, you’ll have fewer combinations to choose from.)

    Having thus chosen two sums between 2 and 12, advance a white cube in those columns, according to these rules:

    If you have already placed a white cube in that column (on an earlier roll during this same turn), advance it one space.
    If one of the three white cubes is not on the board yet, place it in that column:
    If you have a cube of your color in that column (from a previous turn), place the white cube one space ahead of
    it.
    Otherwise, place the white cube in the bottom space of that column.
    Other players’ cubes, if already on a space, can share that space with a white cube.

    Once you play a white cube in a column, it stays in that column until your turn ends. You cannot move a white
    cube from one column to another, nor can you remove it from the board during your turn.

    As the game progresses, you’ll often find that you can only legally make one move, rather than two. This is OK.
    However, you must always play to as many columns as your roll allows; you can’t choose to ignore dice that allow a
    legal move.

    If your roll allows it, you can play twice in a single column. For example, if you roll 2, 4, 4, 6, you could make two
    moves in column 8 (4+4 and 2+6), if available.

    Going bust

    To continue your turn, you must place or advance at least one white cube on the board, according to the rules
    above, after rolling the four dice.

    If you cannot legally place or advance any white cubes using your roll, you have gone bust. You do not get to
    advance any of your cubes this turn. Pass the dice to the player on your left; your turn’s over.

    Choosing to stop, or not

    After you finish placing or advancing the white cubes, you can choose to end your turn, or roll again.

    If you choose to end your turn, replace the white cubes with cubes of your own color. If you already have a cube on
    any of these columns, just move them up to their new positions. (Yes, several players’ cubes can occupy the same
    space.) Then pass the dice and the white cubes to the player on your left; it is now their turn.

    If you choose to roll again, leave the white cubes where they are, pick up all four dice, and roll! All the rules from the
    Rolling section apply to this new roll. Each player can keep playing and rolling as much as they want until they either
    go bust or choose to stop.

    Claiming a column
    If you have moved a white cube onto a column’s top (shaded) space when you choose to end your turn, then you
    have claimed that column. Put your colored cube into the shaded space, while all other players’ cubes in that column
    get returned to their owners.

    For the rest of the game, no player can place a white cube in that column. That goes for you, too! That column’s
    number has effectively ceased to exist. Play accordingly.

    If you end your turn with three columns claimed, you have won the game. Well done.

    Good luck!
