TASK 15
Rules and Instructions:
Once the tower is in place, the game begins with the player who built it. The
player is supposed to take out one block from any of the lower levels. Once ablock is touched, it has to be removed. This has to be done very carefully.
Care must be taken not to remove it roughly, or else the whole tower might
collapse. Having removed a block successfully, the player must then replace
it on the top. Failure to do so will result in the players losing out to their rivals.
Rules state that the game ends if the tower collapses. /www.jengarules.co.uk/

TASK 16
Rules and Instructions:
Drawing Tiles
Once the players begin drawing tiles, they are typically placed on-edgebefore the players, so that each player can see his own tiles, but none can
see the value of other players tiles.
Placing The First Tile
Once all the players have drawn their dominoes, the first player places the
first tile on the table. Typically, this is the double-six. If no one holds the
double-six, then the double-five is played, and so on.
Playing Subsequent Tiles
Only the "open" ends of a layout are open for play. An end is open when it
has no other tile connected to it. Often, a double is placed cross-ways in the
layout.
Drawing Tiles
As the turn passes from player to player, if someone cannot make a move,
they're going to draw a tile from the boneyard and keep on drawing until he
can make a move or the boneyard is empty.
Ending A Game
A game ends when a player /the winner/ plays all his tiles and the boneyard isempty /www.domino-games.com/

8/12/2019 Homemade Toys and Games v1.0
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/homemade-toys-and-games-v10 45/60
TASK 18
Picking Up Sticks
Starting with the player to the left of the person who dropped the sticks, play
begins with each player trying to remove a stick from the pile without
disturbing any others. The first player to play will be able to choose any stick
in the pile, giving this person the advantage of selecting easily acquired
sticks. As soon as the player selects a stick to attempt to pick up, he cannot
release the stick and go for another. If the player can remove a stick without
disturbing the other sticks, he can draw another stick from the pile. If a stick
moves, the player must drop the stick and his turn ends.
Fingers or one successfully removed stick must be used to draw the sticks
from the table. The winner is the player with more sticks drawn./www.ehow.com/
