Help stalwart employee Candra stock the shelves with the new shipment of games. This is a roll and write style game

To Win: Highest scoring player is the winner.

Setup: Give each player one game board sheet and a pencil. One player is then designated as ‘Shipment Delivery Person’ and takes the three dice, rolling and setting them within reach of all players.

Play: Each player simultaneously chooses values on 2 of the 3 dice for use on their 4x4 game board grid of shelving. One die value will be used for the ‘type’ of game (letters W E R C S) and one other die value for the ‘size’ of the game box (numbers 1-5). Players write down a type/size pair in one of the shelf sections of the game board (ex. W4 or R1).

The ‘SDP’ then rolls the dice again and players write down a new type/size pair using the new die values. The game is over after 12 of the 16 shelving spaces have been filled on the game board.

Reroll all dice if 2 or more 6s are rolled during a turn.

Using rolls of 6:
During a player’s turn, they may use the actions of a helper if a single 6 is rolled by the ‘SDP’. A maximum of 4 helper actions can be used by any player. Cross off a box each time an action is used. All actions only affect that player’s own use of the die values.

Scoring after 12 spaces are filled in:
• Score for a single run (i.e. a straight) of 3 orthogonally adjacent game box sizes in ascending/descending numerical order (ex. 1, 2, 3, or 4, 3, 2, not 4, 2, 3), regardless of type, by adding up the total of all game box sizes as a final number within a row or column.

• Score for an individual set of 3 games of the same matching type (regardless of size) orthogonally adjacent to each other in a row or column. Scores are based on the total number of individual sets distributed across the 4x4 game board grid of shelving.

Score equals - 1 set - 3vp • 2 sets - 5vp • 3 sets - 8vp • 4 sets 12vp • 5 or more sets - 17vp

• Score for each individual collection of all 5 game types AND all 5 games sizes within the grid of shelving(ex. E2, W3, R4, S5, C6) without repeat of size values among that collection of the 5 types. Circle each collection of games in order not to repeat during scoring.

Score equals - 15vp for each individual collection
