HOW TO PLAY - ANATOMIX GAME
- GAME
RULES
Object of the Game:
To be first player to complete
their body jigsaw.
RULES FO LEVEL 1
for players from the age of five
The puzzle pieces are all placed upside
down so that the numbers on the back of the pieces are visible.
This pile is called the Body Bank. The youngest player goes
first and spins the Anatomix Spinner. If a number is
indicated - and there are two numbers to choose from the player picks a
single jigsaw piece from the Body Bank with either of the two numbers on
it and turns it over to see whether it goes on their body jigsaw or not.
If it does, it is then placed on their body jigsaw, if not the player
keeps that piece for use if they have to give or swap a body piece with
any other player (see below). If a red area is indicated (the ones
with the faces) the following actions must be followed:
Two happy faces means that you swap
any single body piece that you have with any single body piece of you
choice that any other player has.
A sad face with -1 means you have
to return a piece to the body bank.
Only one spin of the Anatomix Spinner per
turn is allowed. It is then the next players' turn.
HINT
If you already have a body piece eg No 3,
and you earn another No 3 piece, keep it near you as you may want to
give it or swap it with another player.
GAME VARIATIONS
To make it easier you may want to let all
players start with three puzzle pieces chosen at random.
RULES FOR LEVEL 2
for players from the age of twelve
The same as above with the extra dimension
of when a number is indicated the player has to answer a multiple choice
question. Only if this question is answered correctly can the
player pick up the numbered piece from the Body Bank. Whether a
correct or an incorrect answer is given it is the next player's turn.
Each card has two multiple-choice
questions. The person to the right of the player who has to answer
the question picks up the card and asks the player whether they want to
answer the first or second question, and that question is then asked.
All other rules from Level 1 apply.
HINT
If you have to give or swap a piece, your
choice can be tactical to hinder other players' attempts to complete
their body jigsaws.
GAME VARIATIONS
(Please agree any variations to the rules
will all players before starting!)
-
Return a piece to the Body Bank if an
incorrect answer is given, or
-
Do not provide the multiple-choice
answers to the questions and simply pose the question instead or
-
Agree that a piece can only be placed
on the board if it connects to a piece that is already on the board.
