HOW TO PLAY
The objective of Toad in the Hole is to land your coins ( toads ) either ( i ) flat on the surface of your toad table or ( ii ) in the holes to earn points . Take it in turns to throw your toads at the board . The first player throws two toads , the second player throws three toads . After that , each player throws four toads on each turn .
Both players start with 31 points . You get one point knocked off for every toad that lands on the flat surface , and two points for every toad that goes down a hole . There is no score if your coin falls on the floor . The first player to get to exactly zero is the winner . If anyone goes over 0 , they are bust and out of the game , so it ’ s important to play strategically . If you ’ re really good , you can aim your toads to disrupt your competitor ’ s score , but that takes quite a lot of practice .
CALCULATA WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR TERIFFIC TOAD TABLES .
