As you proceed around the game board, you will be instructed by spaces on the board, cards from a deck, and other areas, to either "gain" or "lose" cholesterol from your heart. At first, you will have no problem doing this. But as in real life, if your heart becomes too filled with cholesterol, trouble begins. All cholesterol must be kept within your heart during the game. If your heart becomes too full, you may "stack" the cholesterol as high as you can. You will be timed when this "stacking" becomes difficult. If time has run out, and you have not contained all the cholesterol within your heart, you have had a HEART ATTACK and will need immediate attention.
