Instructions for playing the

TIDDLEY ROAD SAFETY GAME

This game is for two, three or four players and should be played on a table with a cloth or on the carpet on the floor.

Each player selects four small counters of the same colour, one large counter to match and one peg.

Having agreed on the order of play, players then attempt to flick their small counters one at a time into the cups from an agreed distance.

A counter dropping into the Green Cup entitles the player to move his peg four spaces along the road.

A counter dropping into the Amber cup means “Proceed with caution” and entitles the player to move his peg three spaces along the road.

A counter falling into the Red cup does not entitle the player to move along the road but he may have another go.

A counter missing the cups but landing on the board inside the blue line of the road between the road and the traffic signals entitles the player to move one space along the road, provided he has already during the game put one counter direct into ANY cup.

Should the player’s peg alight on a square marked with a traffic sign he should obey the instruction printed below against the same sign, moving backwards or forwards according to the Rule of the Road.

If a move means that two pegs, would occupy the same square the last to arrive moves on to the next unoccupied square.

When a player has flicked his four counters they should either be flicked again from the position in which they finish or returned to the original position to be used again.

The first player to reach FINISH is the Winner.
