To Play:
There is a town in the middle of nowhere that does not use money,
it uses blocks. You have entered a toy store with a stack of blocks.
Can you purchase all the toys you “pick up” with out running out of
blocks?
Players roll the die and move that amount of spaces. If they land on
a colored circle, nothing happens. If they land on a picture, they
must draw a card. The players use their pattern blocks to “pay” for
the toy.
If a player runs out of blocks, they lose the game.
The player with the most blocks at the end of the game wins.
If using cards from page 5 and 6 start off with six hexagons.
For the cards on page 7 and 8, use 10 hexagons.
For the cards on page 9 and 10, use 15 hexagons.
A hexagon equals one whole!
