Path Finder

Description

How to play:

Level 1: Place all the sticks on the table and agree on a starting point. Taking turns, the players roll the colour dice for stick choice. For example, if the red colour rolls up on top, everyone with a red stick may place one on the board. If a colour runs out, roll again. When the dice shows the smiley face, the players can choose any piece. Completely fill the path. There is no way to “win” in this game since the goal is simply to fill the path.

Level 2: The sticks are distributed so that each child has an equal number of coloured sticks. There may be extra sticks that are not used. Agree on a starting and finishing point. Take turns rolling the coloured dice to place the stick on the path. Players skip a turn if they do not have the colour stick rolled on the dice. When playing on corners multiple shorter sticks can replace the longer coloured sticks. The first player to use up all of their sticks is the winner.
