Terror Eyes

Terror Eyes -Roll the dice to match the monster eyes pattern card.

Terror Eyes is a little creepy and a lot different. The idea is that the monster can't see anything without his eyes. Choose an "eyes" pattern card, throw the dice one at a time until they match that pattern, adding them to the monster as you go.

The game consists of 4 dice, 56 cards and a box. I say the obvious "box" because the bottom of the box is the monster's face and where you will place the dice as you throw. The image below shows the box bottom and where the eye dice will go.

Back of the box.

There are three large dice and one smaller red die. The three large eye dice are identical and much larger than the red die, and they measure 1 1/8" square. Five sides of the eye dice show one eye per side and the sixth side is blank. These are the dice you will throw to match the pattern picture. The red die will be thrown by another player while you are playing. The red die has four blank sides, one side with a hand and one side with an exclamation mark. As one player is throwing the eye dice, another player will be throwing this die to stop the player throwing the die (hand). If the person throwing the red die throws an exclamation mark, the other player must perform a physical activity that will slow him down. There are 10 action cards and they include:

• Balance one of the eye dice on your head for 5 seconds.
• Touch your nose with your foot.
• Toss one of the eye dice and catch it.
• Crawl under the table.
• Roll the eye dice with you wrists until the end of the round.

There are 46 pattern cards and each have a different eye pattern on one side only.  

Object:

Be the first player to collect 3 pattern cards.

Set up:

Place the box bottom in the middle of the players. Shuffle the pattern cards and place them nearby in a face-down pile. Shuffle the action cards and place them in a face-down nearby pile. Place all the dice nearby.

Play:

Choose who will go first and give them the three big eye dice. Give the red die to the player on their left. Flip over a pattern card. Both players will throw their dice at the same time. The person with the eye dice will throw one die at a time, quickly and repeatedly, until it matches one of the eyes on the pattern card. They will quickly place that eye in the box and pick up another eye die and start throwing it. At the same time the other player throws the red die once. If he throws the hand, the turn is over and the eye dice that are left are passed to the person on the left and the red die is passed to the person on their left. If they throw the exclamation mark, they must turn over the first action card and the person with the eye die must follow the instructions. If the person with the red die throws a blank side, the die is passed to the next person who gets to throw it once. Everyone keeps throwing their dice until someone with the red die stops the person throwing the eye dice by throwing the hand. Keep playing this way until someone places the last eye (the third die) into the box to complete the pattern. That person gets to take the pattern card and the round is over. Flip over a new pattern card and keep playing rounds until someone collects three pattern cards and wins the game.

Try this:

• Skip the action cards if a person is not willing or able to perform the actions (not everyone can crawl under a table or touch their foot to their nose, or would care to try).
• Let one person throw all three eye dice at the same time. Add them one at a time to the box OR throw until all three that you need come up at the same time.
• Skip the game. Place the box and the eye dice on the table. Present one pattern card at a time and place the eyes in the box to match the pattern card. Pick up each eye die, one at a time, and turn it in-hand to the side you need.
• Cup the hand and roll the large eye die around several times without dropping it. Cup both hands and rolling all three around.
• Pick the top card off the stacks as you go without toppling the pile or picking up more than one card at a time.
• Sort the cards into three piles: one pile for one-eyed monsters, one pile for two-eyed monsters, one pile for three-eyed monsters (there is a blank side on the eye die that will be placed where ever there is a blank spot on the pattern card).
• Work on visual discrimination, spatial relations, manual dexterity, palmar arch development and strength, socialization skills, process skills, executive functioning skills, play and leisure exploration and participation

In the box: 3 large eye dice, 1 red die, 46 pattern cards, 10 action cards
