Penny Drop is an extremely fun game to play at a bar or the dinner table with friends and family. With an easy to understand set of rules Penny Drop can be enjoyed by children, teenagers and adults alike. If you are the gambling sort you can ante up a few quarters or dollars each game to add an additional element to the game.

The basic idea of the game is to get rid of all your pennies first. With a bit of strategy and dash of luck you will find yourself at the winners podium. Now let’s get on to how the game is played!

Penny Drop is meant to be played by two or more people.

EACH PLAYER NEEDS 12 Pennies : note – you can use 10 pennies if you want to make a faster game

THE OBJECT OF THE GAME IS TO BE THE FIRST TO GET RID OF ALL OF YOUR PENNIES

• 1. Determine who goes first by each player rolling the single dice cube. Highest # goes first; then play proceeds in a clockwise direction
• 2. Player rolls the die and must put a penny in the game board slot corresponding to the number shown on the die.
• 3. If the player rolls a number that already has a penny in it, they must take all of the pennies showing on the board and then the turn goes to the next player
• 4. A player must take at least one roll, but can take as many rolls as they want until they get stuck as in rule #3.
• 5. Hole number 6 lets the penny go inside the box so you can roll as many as 6’s as possible without penalty
• 6. Play continues until a player runs out of pennies and is declared the winner. The pennies are redistributed to start the next game.
• 7. A fun way to wager on the game would be for each player to put a quarter or a sum of money inside the box prior to the game starting. The winner would then be awarded that money.

And that it is! I told you it was easy. Now it is time to kick back and have fun playing with your friends and family.
