HOW TO PLAY

Players take turns throughout the game. Each turn begins with a game of Plinko Hi-Lo in order to win money cards. Earn enough Money cards to purchase Plinko Chips. When a player buys Plinko chips they may drop them into the Plinko board to win Price is Right Prize cards.
ON YOUR TURN:

1. PLAY PLINKO HI-LO TO EARN PLINKO CHIPS
   Flip over the top Money card in the deck and place it face-up on the table. Then make a prediction for the next card – will it be HIGHER or LOWER in value than the Money card you just drew? Flip over the next card and place it on top of the previous card to see if you were correct.
   IF YOU ARE CORRECT – you have two choices:
   1 Stop predicting and collect all the face-up Money cards from your turn and add them to your score pile. If you have earned enough Money cards, then you may purchase a Plinko chip.
   OR
   2 Push your luck and attempt to win more Money cards by making another prediction. Will it be HIGHER or LOWER than the card you just predicted correctly?
   Then, flip over the next Money card and placed on top of the previous card to reveal if you were correct or incorrect.
   As long as a ployer is correct in their predictions, they may continue to make predictions, or STOP and collect all the cards in the pile and add them to their hand.
   IF YOU ARE INCORRECT – you go BUST and immediately end your turn.
   Place all the money cards that you flipped over during the turn into the discard pile.
   The next player begins their turn by flipping over the top Money card and making a prediction.
   NOTE: If a flioped over card is the SAME as the last card, the player adds it to the pile and predicts what the NEXT card will be.
   MONEY CARDS
   Money cards contain an image of the following denominations: $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, and $500.

2. SPEND MONEY CARDS TO BUY PLINKO CHIPS
   When you have collected enough Money cards you may purchase a Plinko Chip for $500.
   Purchase a Plinko chip by discarding a set of Money Cards that are equal in value to, or greater than $500. Take one of the Plinko chips near the Plinko board and place it in front of you.
   You may drop the Plinko chip right away or wait and drop on a later turn when new prize cards are available. However, you may only hold onto a maximum of one Plinko chip at a time.

3. DROP PLINKO CHIPS TO WIN PRIZES
   When you have acquired one or more Plinko Chips, you may drop them on your turn to win prize cards.
   Hold the chip against the board above the slot you want to drop it in and let go. Watch the chip falland bounce between pegs until it lands in a slot at the bottom of the board.
   The Plinko Chip willland in a numbered slot at the bottom that corresponds with a numbered space on the gameboard. Take that Prize card and add it to your score pile. Draw a new Prize card and place it face-up on the empty space on the gameboard.
   Remove the Plinko Chip from the bottom slot and place it next to the Plinko board for another player to purchase.
   If you have another chip, you may drop again. After you finish dropping chips, your turn is over. Play then moves to the player on your left.
