The trouble barrier is always located between the cursor and the end
point. When the next player gets the barrier, its position is being calculated
with the with the rules as follows: (a) Count the barrier's previous position
from the starting point as "x". (b) Count "x" steps starting from the cursor's
location of the player who receives it.
between cursor and end point, the barrier is bouncing back and forth between
the two points for "x" steps. These rules ensure that the barrier will not
always appear on the same spot.
HOT POTATO
This game is similar to Pachisi, only that the barrier is now called "Hot
Potato" and does more harm. During relocation, if the "Hot Potato" bounces
a filled spot, it will dig out the fill and push the end point one step back.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Check and make sure the AC adapter is properly plugged in to
the electrical outlet, and the DC plug is properly connected to
the DC Jack on the board.
Check to see if the game is in the setup mode or if the game is
on hold. You may also check to see if any scoring segments or
function buttons are stuck.
During shipping or in the course of normal play, it is possible for
the scoring segments to become temporarily jammed. If such
situation happens, all automated scoring ceases. A warning
signal sounds and the display begins flashing with the indication
of which number is stuck.
wiggling the segment with your finger, you will be able to free the
segment. The game may then be resumed and scoring will not
be affected.
A stuck function button will result in a frozen board as well. The
flashing display shows "-F-" with a warning sound. Apply the
same technique gently to free the stuck button.
Plastic tip is safer but does not last forever. If a tip breaks and
remains in the board, try to pull it out gently with a pair of pliers.
However, for a short broken tip that sticks flush with the
segment surface, you may push it through the hole into the
board. The soft tip will not hurt the circuit behind the segment.
Nevertheless, we recommend you to use a good SOFT TIP on a
dart to push the broken one through. Be careful, not to use a
pointed metal object to do the job. A pointed object may cause
damage if being stuck too deep into the board. Remember, the
heavier the dart is, the higher the chance that the tip will break.
