Object of the Game
Billy Blueberry, Annie Apple, Jerry Cherry and Peach Melba are having a pie-eating contest, and you're feeding them. You want to be the first player to fill your character's mouth with three pieces of his or her own flavor pie!
Equipment
- PIE FACE game board, built into the box.
- Sheet with a 4-character backdrop and 13 pie pieces: 3 of each fruit plus one yucky flavor (Dirty Sock Pie).
Assembly and Setup
Refer to the photograph on the bottom of the package and the drawing below.
Put the pie-eating kids in their place
- Punch out the four-character backdrop.
- Slip it into the back of the box: The center portion of the bottom edge (A) goes between the outside box edge and the built-up game board (with the pie). The tab shapes on either end of the bottom edge (B and C) go into the two slots cut into the back edge of the game board.
Bake your pie
- Punch the 13 pie pieces out of the sheet. (Where did that piece of Dirty Sock Pie come from?)
- Mix up the pie pieces, and randomly put one piece into each slot in the crust of the pie in the game board.
- Now rotate the box a few times, just in case players remember where the flavors are.
- Make sure no one is sitting behind the backdrop, so all players can see.
Game Play
- Decide which of the four characters you'll feed: Will you be looking for Blueberry pie for Billy? Apple pie for Annie? Cherry pie for Jerry? or Peach pie for Melba? Announce who you'll feed, before the first player takes a turn.
- The youngest player goes first. Play passes to the left.
On your turn
- Select any one piece from the pie. If it belongs to your character, slide it into one of the three slots in his or her mouth. Your turn ends.
- Note: The pie slices go only half-way into the mouths. Do not force them.
- If the piece is not one of yours, show it to the other players, then put it back where you found it. Your turn ends.
- In a 2- or 3-player game, you'll often pick flavors that don't belong to anyone. If you do, put the piece back; your turn ends.
- Ycccchhhh! What to do with the Dirty Sock Pie piece: If you drew this un-tasty piece, show it to everyone, put it back in the pie—and remove a piece (if there is one) from your character's mouth and return it to the pie.
Winning
If you're the first player to fill your character's mouth with all three of its matching pie pieces, you win!
