About Trap the Cap

An age-old children's game, for which multiple variants exist. Multiple editors and editions. In the common version of the game, players roll the dice to move their "caps" around the board. If a player lands on another cap or a stack of caps, that player captures the stack by nesting his or her cap on top of the stack. A player then seeks to return that stack of caps to home-base to keep them.
