A simple roll and move game where players use a small wooden marble to move along a path by the roll of he dice. The playing board is slightly elevated at one end to create a slope. The path mostly contains a series small holes for the marble to sit, but every so often on the path is a much larger hole where if a player lands directly on the large hole by the dice roll then the wooden marble falls through and rolls down the slope to the start and the player must begin again.

A player may "Butt" an opponent forward if he directly lands on that player. First player to reach Paddy McGinty's Goat's right eye is deemed the winner.
