12 Large Plates of Food, 12 Small Plates of Food, 12 funny money dollars, and 1 Waiter with tray
Set-up, Soups and Salads
- Assemble the waiter as shown on reverse side, and place him on the table.

- Everyone takes 3 dollars.
Game Play and Main Course
Take turns. On your turn, take any size plate from the draw pile and place it on the waiter's tray, then your turn ends. Play continues clockwise.
If you add a plate to the waiter's tray that makes him tip and drop any plates, you must tip the waiter one dollar. Lay one of your dollars near him, return any fallen plates to the draw pile, and your turn ends.
Once you tip your last dollar, you're out of the game - so sit back and watch everybody else tip the waiter for a change!
