When a Hitchiker dies, they are not out of the game. Hitchikers are subject to reincarnation.

When you die, you simply start over as you did at the beginning of the game. Choose a Hometown, receive $25,000 from the Bank and try again.

Although there’s no doubt that death sucks, you should remember that it can happen to other players as well. Sometimes having the least amount of Travelling Cash at the right time will change your situation dramatically.

REMINDER ... Anyone can join a Hitchiker game already underway and still have a good chance to win. Hitchikers can go from rags to riches in an instant. There will be times you’re on top of the world one minute and a little bummed out the next.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this game can be like a wild ride on an emotional roller coaster.
