1 x grass arena with four snake egg nests, each with 5 raised egg holders
4 x score-keepers
4 x snakes
4 x spacer discs
20 x snake eggs, 12 white, 4 black and 4 red

 

Scoop up five eggs on the snake's tongue and place them as quickly as possible on the five egg holders in your egg nest.
Play is made more complex by the use of spacer discs on each snake handle indicating how far down the length of the snake the player may grip. The closer to the tongue that grip is permitted, the easier the game play.
The eggs are in 3 different colours, with different scoring given to each colour.

 

A simple, yet effective game to play. The instructions are printed on the inside of the box lid.
Other games advertised by Peter Pan Games on the box inner lid include Frustration, Headache and Hats Off.
