Description

The aim of this simple children’s game is to be the first player to have his or her “nest” full of eggs. Each player is assigned a color and given 6 little wooden 'eggs' of that color. The players take turns spinning the board’s central indicator, and whenever the arrow stops on a particular color (blue, yellow, red, or green), the player who possesses the eggs of that color places one egg in his or her nest. That player then spins the indicator, and so on, until one of the nests is full. That player is the winner.
