GAME ONE: CLASSIC BOOBY TRAP

Score the most points to win!

• The youngest player begins and play passes to the left.

• In turn, players will remove ONE piece.

• Once a piece is touched, the player must pick that piece or pass
their turn. They may not choose a different piece.

• If a player removes a piece without moving the ticker past a raised
mark (fig. 2), that player may keep it.

• If the ticker passes over a raised mark, the offending
player must discard the removed piece and any other pieces
that have popped off of the board. The player must also discard
3 points worth of pieces from their collection (see SCORING). If
unable to discard 3 points, the player must pay what they can
and pass.

• Turns may be passed.

• It is okay for following players to also pass their turns, BUT if turns
are passed for two rounds, the player who begins the third round
MUST remove a piece.

• Play continues until the board contains pieces equal to the number
of players in the game (example: a 4-player game is over when
there are 4 pieces left).

• Count the pieces and add up the points (see SCORING). The player
with the most points wins!

SCORING:

• Large (blue) piece = 3 points

• Medium (yellow) piece = 2 points

• Small (green) piece = 1 point

GAME TWO: UNLOCK THE TRAP!

Unlock the trap by picking the correct pieces in order!

• Each player randomly chooses a game card ( ).

• The youngest player begins and play passes to the left.

• Players will remove ONE piece in the order indicated on their
cards.

• Once a piece is touched, the player must pick that piece or pass
their turn. They may not choose a different piece.

• Place each piece on top of its spot on the card.

• Pieces that are chosen out of order must be placed aside.

• If the ticker passes over a raised mark, the offending
player must discard the removed piece and any other pieces that
have popped off of the board. The player must also discard ALL
the pieces on their card and start over.

• Turns may be passed.

• It is okay for following players to also pass their turns, BUT if turns
are passed for two rounds, the player who begins the third round
MUST remove a piece.

• The player to fill up their card and “unlock the trap” by getting
their combination first wins the game!
