The House that Jack Built

2–4 players · 0 min · 4+

A simple yet most enjoyable game for children Ages 4 - 8. 2-4 can play, or a child can amuse himself playing alone.

The pieces are placed face up in the centre of the table. Throw the coloured die in turn. If you throw white, you take a white front wall; if you throw any other colour before you possess your front wall you pass. Once you have this you take pieces that match the colour you throw. If you throw a colour you do not require, you pass. The first player to complete his house wins the game.
