1. A system comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the at least one processor, direct the at least one processor to perform a method comprising;
determining a first sequence of move numbers comprising a plurality of non-zero numbers;
after the first sequence is determined, causing a first player of a game to advance a first time, in a first turn of the first player, by a number of positions corresponding to a move number of the first sequence of move numbers;
after causing the first player to advance the first time, causing a second player of the game to advance in a first turn of the second player; and

Abstract
In various embodiments, a predetermined number of move numbers for one or more players or users of a game or application may be determined, e.g., using an indicator. For example, a first group of move numbers for a first player and a second group of move numbers for a second player may be determined. The players use the pre-established move numbers to advance according to the rules of the application or game. Move numbers within a group may be sequenced or non-sequenced. Move numbers may be replaced at each player'"'"'s turn or when all or a subset of move numbers of a group are used. Move numbers may be established by any type of indicator such as dice, dominos, or a random number generator. In some embodiments, move numbers may be traded in. Move numbers may or may not be visible at predetermined times to one or more players.
