1. Fold plate in half and cut. Fold each halve in half and cut. Repeat with the other two halves until you end up with eight "pie slices."
2. Using the black marker, number six slices 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
3. With the red marker, number the two black pieces 4 and 5.


Rules of the Game

All pie pieces are placed together in the center of the play area. Each player throws the die. The player with the highest number starts the game.

1. The first player rolls the die. Player then takes the pie slice matching the number rolled. Player's score is recorded.

2. Second player rolls the die, takes the slice matching the number rolled, and score is recorded. Game continues around. If a 4 or 5 is rolled, players take the slice with the matching BLACK numbers.

NOTE: If another player rolls a 4 or 5, then that player may take the Bonus slice with the matching RED number. Game continues until all pieces are gone. No score is recorded when a player rolls a number for which there is no longer a matching slice. Play passes to the next player.

The player with the highest score wins.
