Fundex Games Regal 12 Backgammon manual Mill, Timber Tumble, Players 2 or more, Tic Tac Toe

player A picks up eight stones from bin #6, then he places a stone in his Mancala and then bins #7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. He then skips his opponent’s Mancala, and places the remaining stone in bin #1. If the last stone of a player’s turn lands in an empty bin on his side of the game board, then the player gets to collect all the stones in his opponent’s bin which is directly opposite, as well as the single stone placed in his own bin. These collected stones are placed in his Mancala. Players may not touch the stones to count them and once a player has touched the stones, he must play them.

Winner: Play ends when one player’s six bins are empty. The other player then places all remaining stones from his bins into his own Mancala. (the player who ends the game does not always win!) Players then count all the stones in their Mancalas. The player with the most stones wins the game.

MILL

Players: 2

Equipment: 9 light colored game pieces, 9 dark colored game pieces, game board

Object: Be the first player to reduce your opponent to two game pieces on the game board.

Set-up:Each player chooses the color of game pieces he will play with (light or dark). Players then take turns placing the their pieces one at a time, on the game board with the intention of setting up a “mill” (a mill is three of one player’s game pieces in a row).

Game Play: After all playing pieces are placed on the board, players move their pieces one space at a time to try to get additional “mills.” When a player gets a “mill,” he removes one of his opponent’s game pieces from the game board and sets it aside. Players are not allowed to take a playing piece from a already created “mill.”

Winning: The winner is the first player to reduce his opponent to two playing pieces on the game board.

TIMBER TUMBLE

Players: 2 or more

Equipment: 48 rectangular blocks

Object: Remove the blocks one at a time, but don’t make the tower tumble!

Set-up:Place three blocks next to each other, with a space between them. Then place three more blocks on top of the first three, but in the opposite direction. (See diagram) Keep building the pile until all of the blocks have been used.

Game play: The youngest player goes first, and play continues to the left, with each player taking his turn by removing a block and placing it onto the top of the tower. The placed block should be laid in the same crisscross pattern that the tower was built. Players may use only one hand to remove and place blocks. Players may touch a block to see if it is loose. If the block is moved and it is not placed onto the top, it must be returned to it’s original position. Players should be careful to not make the tower tumble!

Winner: The winner is the last player to successfully place a block on top of the tower without making it tumble. When the tower tumbles on a player’s turn, the preceding player wins the game.
