5. Game Play (Operating Instructions)

Objective:

Be the first player to successfully place all your ice cream scoops onto Robbi's tray without any scoops falling.

Starting the Game:

The youngest player begins the game. Play proceeds clockwise.

On Your Turn:

1. Carefully select one ice cream scoop from your personal supply. You may choose either a vanilla (yellow) or melon (pink) scoop.
2. Gently place the chosen scoop onto the tray on Robbi's nose. You can place it anywhere on the tray, trying to maintain balance.
3. Once the scoop is placed and your hand is removed, your turn ends.

Falling Scoops:

If any ice cream scoops fall from the tray during your turn (either while placing a scoop or immediately after removing your hand), you must collect all fallen scoops and add them to your personal supply. Your turn then ends, and play passes to the next player.
