Take the corresponding Character Card and keep it beside you for reference then put your playing piece on your headstone. This is your starting place.

Remove the numbers 1 through 6 from the label sheet. Place one number on the front of each of the six racks in the center (see package back).

One player hands out the key racks, without looking at the numbers. The number on the rack you receive becomes "your number" for the duration of the game.

Everyone now has a character and a number.

Ensure that all players understand the rules of play and are familiar with the location of the MENU button on the remote control. This is the only button to press if you win the game.

(If your remote has a TITLE button this can also be used.)

When everything is set up, you are ready to play the game.
