HOW TO PLAY - SHAPES UP- GAME

• Sort the colored shapes according to
• their shape and size.



• Shuffle the individual groups of
• shapes and place them in the tray.



• Place the shape tray in the center so
• that all players can reach it.



• Give each player a game board.



• Make sure the timer is ready to use.

Line rules:

• A shape placed on the board must
• fit exactly inside of the white shape outlines on the board. 
• A large shape will cover some of the white outlines, but it must
• still be bordered by a white outline on all of its sides.



• You cannot place a shape so that
• it lies outside the borders of the game board.

Color rule:

• Shapes that are the same color
• cannot touch along their sides.  They can only touch at the
• corners.

During-Your-Turn

rules:

• If you are not able to place your
• shape on the board because:
  
• 1) the time runs out, or 2) you can't follow the line or color
• rules, keep the shape to one side.  You may place it on
• your board when it is your turn later on, instead of rolling the
• die.



• You can skip rolling the die and
• use the 10 seconds to rearrange your pieces (those on the board
• or those collected to one side) on the board.



• If you roll the die and get a
• shape that is no longer in the shape tray, you don't get any
• shape and it becomes the next player's turn.
