32 wooden shapes (8 squares, triangles, circles, and stars) 16 cupcake cards
1 sprinkle shaker
1 custom die
OBJECT
Collect the most cupcakes by matching the colored wooden shapes that pour out from the sprinkle shaker to the colored shapes on the cupcake cards.
SET UP
• Place all the colored wooden shapes into the sprinkle shaker through the opening at the top and put the shaker within reach of all players.
• Take the top of the game box and place it open side-up into the center of the playing area.
• Shuffle the cupcake cards and stack them face down in the middle. Now turn over the top four cards in a face up row within view of all players.
HOW TO PLAY
The last player to eat an entire cupcake goes first and play continues to the left. On your turn, roll the die.
The die indicates how many times you may shake the shaker. (For example: if you rolled a three, you may shake it three times.) Then take the sprinkle shaker and shake it as follows:
• Hold the sprinkle shaker in your hand with the opening facing up. Cover the opening with your other hand and shake it so the sprinkles get well mixed. Then remove the hand that’s covering the opening.
• Hold the sprinkle shaker over the open game box. Turn the shaker so that the opening faces down into the box and shake it the number of times equal to the number you rolled. Then turn it upright again and set it back down
on the playing surface.
Did any shapes pour out?
If so, look at the face up cupcake cards and see if any of the shapes match both a shape and color on a card. Place any matching shapes onto the correspond- ing cards and put the rest back into the sprinkle shaker. Pass the shaker to the player on your left.
If nothing came out of the shaker, simply pass it
