How it Works

In Busted!, Students tear through the halls grabbing Loot, pulling off stunts, and building their reputation—while the Faculty uses everything they have to hunt them down!

Every turn runs on simple dice rolls and fast decisions:

 

Students’ Turn

Students roll a die to move through the school, slipping into classrooms, restrooms, and back hallways as they search for Loot and chances to score points. Land on a space? Do what it says—talk your way out of trouble, sneak past danger, cause a distraction, or snag something useful before the Faculty shows up.

Entered the Restroom? Awesome - draw a Restroom card to see what cool things are going on in there!

 

Faculty’s Turn

The Faculty plays the opposite side of the chaos. They roll, move, and unleash the staff—teachers, coaches, security guards, the Principal, even Cal O’Reeze—to chase down rule-breakers, block shortcuts, and shut down any nonsense happening in the hallways. Their goal is simple: catch the kids, confiscate their stuff, and keep the school from collapsing into total anarchy.

 

The Goal

Students rack up points by surviving the day, pulling off stunts, scoring wins, and keeping their Loot.

Faculty earn points by busting kids, shutting down trouble, and maintaining control.

When the day ends, the highest score—Student or Faculty—wins!

The Student's Turn
Repeat for all Students

Step

Use Action Space

The player can Activate any "Face-Up" Loot cards at this time.Other Loot cards may be played throughout your turn as needed! 

If you begin on an Action space, you may use it now!

Step

Move Roll

Player may make a MOVE roll adding any bonuses or penalties that apply to that roll. Advancing their character in any direction on the board.

Step

Use 2nd Action Space

Did you enter a Restroom and end your MOVE there? Great - draw a Restroom card and resolve it first!

Then, if you are on another Action space, you may use that space too!

Oops! We are still developing!

As with any exciting new project - there's always more to do and this is no exception!

We continue to develop this section and will have it live in the very near future.
