The Chocolate Race

How To Play

• Step 1.

  In the centre of a table is a large bar of chocolate on a chopping board or tray, with a knife and fork. Nearby you will need a coat, scarf, hat and gloves big enough to fit all players, or better still, a range of sizes.

• Step 2.

  Players assemble around the table and take turns to throw the dice. The first player to throw a six wins the chance to eat some chocolate. But before they can do so they must don the coat, hat, scarf and gloves, and then cut a portioned of chocolate with the knife and fork and eat it with the fork (no hands!).

• Step 3.

  BUT... while the player in Step 2 is trying to get ready and cut the chocolate the remaining players continue throwing the dice in turn also trying to throw a 6. If they do then the chocolate winner in Step 2 must stop at whatever point they have reached and remove the garments. The new winner tries to get a taste of the brown gold.

  Anyone who manages to cut and eat a chunk of chocolate before it is all gone might consider themselves a mini-winner.
