THE KING MUST GO!

The greedy Gnome King demands his kingdom’s treasure! Flick him your treasure coins to appease him, but revenge will be yours when you topple his throne!

OBJECTIVE:

Skillfully flick treasure coins beneath the Gnome King’s throne to stack them on his lap, then acquire his riches by flicking a treasure coin to knock over his throne.

REQUIREMENTS:

-1 GNOME KING CARD

-4 TREASURE COINS FOR EACH PLAYER, divided as follows:

1 DIME (1 point value)

1 PENNY (2 point value)

1 NICKEL (3 point value)

1 QUARTER (4 point value)

SETUP:

Cut the Gnome King card along the two dotted lines, then fold the card as instructed to create the throne. Set the throne facing you on the floor or a table approx. 12 inches away.

GAMEPLAY:

PHASE ONE

Players take turns flicking 3 treasure coins each of their choice beneath the throne. Each coin that passes fully through gets placed on the throne. Any coin that doesn't fully pass the throne or knocks over the throne before phase two must be discarded for the round.

PHASE TWO

Rotate the throne so a side faces you. The player with the lowest value coin remaining gets to flick to topple the throne first. If the values are the same, flip to see who goes first. Continue flicking final coin until the throne is knocked over. First player to topple the throne gets all the coins on the throne and records their total value. (see REQUIREMENTS)
