You can play either alone or in a team.
The rules are similar whether you play alone or in a team, except that if you are alone, you can play again even after a wrong answer.

AIM OF THE GAME: The team that is the first to reconstitute its figurine wins. For this, you must either answer 3 questions dealing with a same theme on the board, or correctly answer one question from corner boxes (Impact Malaria block).  Note that the corner questions are far more difficult than the questions in the normal boxes. 

HOW TO BEGIN: Choose the number of teams or players.
Then, each selected team chooses its piece and enters its name.  The red team begins. 
Click on the dice to play.  The possible boxes appear in flashing light and indicate the theme of the question. 
There are 4 themes identified by the following colours: 

Blue         =    Treatment  
Green      =    Antimalarial Fight  
Orange    =    Symptomatology 
Red         =    Epidemiology 

Click on the box where you wish to go: the question is displayed on the screen.  There can be one or several elements of answer.
To select the answers, click on the ? located in front of each proposition, then click on the ‘’Validate’’ button (it only appears when the correct number of answers has been achieved). You may ‘’deselect’’ an answer by clicking again on the ? as long as you have not yet clicked on ‘’Validate’’.
If the answer is correct, the ‘’Play again’’ button is displayed.  Click on it and throw the dice again.
If the answer is wrong, the next team plays after having clicked on the ‘’Next Team’’ button. To get explanations about an answer, click on the ‘’information’’ button.

CONTINUING THE PARTY: 
Once you have won one ‘’Figurine’’ game, your piece fills up with the color of the theme for which your answers were correct (i.e. either 3 questions or one corner question).  You can nevertheless choose a question from the same theme to continue the game.  You will have to give a correct answer but you will not win a figurine game (since you already have it). 

THE WINNER: The game ends as soon as a team has the four quarters of the figurine.
