Can you balance one wooden piece on another? No problem? Now try it on top of a wobbling, rolling base! The steadiest hand will win the game.
Object of the Game
The first player to get rid of all of their pieces wins.
Setting Up
Put the three wooden bases on the table with their flat sides up, leaving some 15 centimetres (6 inches) between them. Each player takes seven wooden pieces.
Playing the Game
The youngest player begins. The turn then passes to the left.
On your turn, roll the colour die and place one of your pieces on the base with the same colour. If there are already pieces on that base, you have to add your piece to the top of the stack. Then give the colour die to the player on your left.
Example: You roll the colour yellow, so you put one of your markers on the yellow base.
If you make a stack of wooden pieces topple, you have to take all the pieces that fall on the table and your turn is over.
Winning the Game
Keep playing until one player gets rid of all of their pieces. That player wins the game!
Playing a Series of Games
Decide in advance how many games you want to play. When someone wins a game, give each player a point for each piece they have left. The winner gets no points at all. When you finish the series of games, the player with the fewest points wins.
