Overview

Get ready to embark on the craziest vacation ever! A herd of mischievous bulls has taken over the quaint town of El Toro, and players must outrun & outwit them in order to get to the fabulous destinations on the coast! Skillfully play cards to dodge the rascally bulls as they chase you through the streets! The dice themselves are the Runners, and you must maipulate them to determine both their paths & those of the Bulls themselves! It's all a bit like strategic pachinko! With a bit of planning & lot of luck, you’ll reach your spectacular getaway while Running with the Bulls! In the game, players use handfuls of dice as runners, starting them at the top of the game board and playing cards to reroll those runners or influence opposing runners, with your goal for each of the three days being to get your runners to the fancy destinations (which are worth differing amounts of points) at the bottom of the board while avoiding the bulls that are chasing you.
