SUPPLIES NEEDED: One empty standard size egg carton, sixty dried beans, and two small cups.

DIRECTIONS TO SET UP: Two players are needed to play. To begin, place five beans in each section of the egg carton. Place one cup on each side of the egg carton. Player A sits across from Player B. The cup on the each player's right is their goal or homebase.

OBJECT OF GAME: To have more beans than your oppenent in your goal.

NOTE: Your board should look like this.

DIRECTIONS TO PLAY: Decide who goes first. Assume Player A goes first. Player A picks a section of the egg carton that he would like to start with. Player A then picks up the beans in that square and starts dropping one bean in each section moving from left to right in each row. If the last bean he drops falls into a section with other beans in it , Player A may then pick up all those beans and start from that section the process of dropping beans again. After Player A makes a full rotation (when he has reached the bottom right hand section) Player A then drops one bean in his goal. Player A then begins again at the top left hand section and repeats the process until he drops his last bean in an empty section. When this has happened Player A's turn is over, and Player B starts his turn. Player A and Player B continue this process until there are no more beans in the egg carton. After the egg carton is empty, Player A and Player B count up the beans in their goal and whoever has more beans wins.
