1 Little Stinker Shaker, 20 Dice, 5 Little Stinker Cards, 1 Apple Card, 1 Mud Puddle Card.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD. Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Setup
- Place one Little Stinker Card face up in front of each player, and put any extras back in the box.
- Put the Mud Puddle Card face up in the middle of the table, and the Apple Card face up off to the side of the table.
- Evenly divide all dice between the players. All players put their dice on their Little Stinker Cards.
- 3 player game: if you have 3 players, each player will have 6 dice on their Little Stinker Cards. Put the extra 2 dice on the Mud Puddle Card.
- The youngest player goes first. Give that player the Little Stinker Shaker.
Shaker's note: "I'm a dice shaker! When it's your turn, put all the Dice on your Little Stinker Card into my mouth, give me a shake, then squeeze the stars on my cheeks to open my mouth and roll out the dice!"
Gameplay
On your turn, grab all the dice on your Little Stinker Card, put them in the Little Stinker Shaker, shake it, and then spill them out onto the table. Then, look at what you rolled, and sort all the dice like this:
Blank
For all Blank dice you roll, put them back on your own Little Stinker Card.
Little Stinker
For all Little Stinker dice you roll, you get to put them on any other player's Little Stinker Card.
Remember, you're trying to get rid of all of your dice to win the game, so the player you choose will have a harder time winning! You can give them all to one player, or split them up between a bunch of players.
Apple
For all Apple dice you roll, put them on the Apple Card. Hurray, you buried your apples! Those dice are gone for the rest of the game.
Mud Puddle
For all Mud Puddle dice you roll, put them on the Mud Puddle Card.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. You MUST roll a Mud Puddle on your turn. Any time you roll your dice, check for Mud Puddles first! If you don't roll at least 1 Mud Puddle, you must take ALL the dice on the Mud Puddle Card and put them on your Little Stinker Card (unless of course, there aren't any, so you're safe!)
This means that each time a player rolls at least 1 Mud Puddle, there will be more and more dice waiting on the Mud Puddle Card, and the stakes get even higher for the next player to roll at least 1 Mud Puddle!
After you've sorted all your dice, your turn is over, and now the player on your left gets to take their turn by rolling all the dice on their Little Stinker Card.
Winning
The first player to end their turn with no dice on their Little Stinker Card wins!
Examples
Let's take a look at a couple of example turns.
Example 1
It's your turn and there are 6 dice on your Little Stinker Card. You roll your dice and get this: 2 Mud Puddles, 2 Little Stinkers, 2 Blanks.
- Put the 2 Mud Puddles on the Mud Puddle Card.
- Since you rolled at least 1 Mud Puddle, you don't need to take any of the dice already on the Mud Puddle Card. Phew!
- Put your 2 Blanks back on your own Little Stinker Card.
- And the last 2 are Little Stinkers, so you decide to put one of them on Player 2's Little Stinker Card and one of them on Player 3's Little Stinker Card.
Now your turn is over and it's the next player's turn.
Example 2
It's your turn and there are only 3 dice on your Little Stinker Card. You roll your dice and get this: 1 Blank, 2 Apples.
- Oh no! You didn't roll a Mud Puddle, and there were 3 dice already on the Mud Puddle Card! That means you have to take all 3 of the dice on the Mud Puddle Card and put them on your Little Stinker Card.
- Put your 2 Apples on the Apple Card. They will stay buried for the rest of the game.
- You also rolled a Blank, so put it back on your Little Stinker Card.
Now your turn is over and it's the next player's turn.
Kids Instructions
Read this out loud to the kids!
We're all going to start with a bunch of dice, and the first player to get rid of all their dice wins the game. So, how do we get rid of them?
By rolling them! We're each going to take turns rolling. When it's your turn, you get to put all your dice in this cute little piggy called "The Little Stinker". Give it a good shake, and then gently squeeze the stars on its cheeks to spill all your dice out!
After you roll, look at the dice, and if any of them have pictures showing, you get to put them on the matching pictures around the table.
It's very important to roll at least 1 Mud Puddle on your turn, otherwise you have to take ALL the dice on the Mud Puddle Card. Any dice you roll with no pictures are the ones you have to keep, and the first player to get rid of all their dice wins!
