Instructions
In this game, a Cub needs to have the maximum number of candles at the end of the game. You need to have 4 candles (or similar) for each Cub and a dice. This can be played as follows:
– Ask every player to sit in a circle.
– One player will roll the dice.
– If the number comes, say 4 then the person sitting at the right of that person will have to give his/her 4 candles to the roller of the dice. The same is true for 1,2 and 3.
– If 5 or 6 comes, the person will not have to give anything.
– And the game continues. The person left with no candle will get eliminated at each step.
– The person left with the maximum number of candles will be the winner.
