6.If Topsy falls over during your turn, you must gather all of the fallen blocks and add them to your pile.
7.Play continues until one player has placed all of his/her blocks under
Topsy’s feet.
NOTE: You can only use 1 hand to place a block, but if you’re quick, you may be able to place more than one block of the same colour under Topsy’s feet during the same turn. Also, if you think Topsy might topple, on your turn you may adjust the blocks under his feet to keep from falling. (Remember: Your turn ends when Topsy stops moving.)
Alternative Game (Cooperative): In this game, players work together to get Topsy Turtle to the top of all of the colour blocks. If he does fall, it’s up ok. Just put all the blocks back into a pile and begin again. When you get him on top of all of the blocks, everybody wins!
3. Keep your blocks within easy |
reach and place any extra blocks |
out of play. |
