NEW in Hitchiker – Life Insurance!!!
There may be times when players experience a succession of extreme bad luck when rolling the dice and die at the most inopportune times (not that there’s a good time to die).
In order to offer remedy, you have the option of purchasing Life Insurance (often very expensive) prior to your roll to move, which as is sounds will protect you from death, but only for that one roll.
To buy Life Insurance, prior to your regular roll to move:
- Announce your wish to buy Life Insurance
- Roll both dice and multiply the roll by $10,000 to determine the premium (cost)
- Pay the Bank (if you can afford the insurance) and you will now have protection from death until the completion of your current turn.
TIP: Life Insurance may be a very good investment when you have a wad of Travelling Cash or Contraband you are trying to protect, or have a lot in your Bank. Unfortunately, it won’t make much sense or difference to buy it if you’re poor to begin with.
