INSTRUCTIONS

LUCKY SHOT

The object is to get 4 small winks into cups by hopping them into any cup or by playing the board to a 25-point cup.  Each player chooses a large wink, 4 small winks, and a marker of the same color.  First player places a small wink between himself and the board.  He tries to hop it into a cup by drawing edge of large wink over small wink.  If it lands in a cup he leaves it there. If not, he places marker on board at START.  The play moves to left.  At his next turn, player either hops a wink or, if he has a marker on the board, throws die and moves marker as many spaces as die indicates.  If marker lands on space of same color, player tries again to hop wink into cups.  If it lands in a cup he removes marker from board.  A wink may be placed in a 25-point cup by throwing exact number needed to reach HOME.  When a player has 4 winks in cups each player counts his winks in the cups and totals his score.
