  Setting Up The Game

    a.. 3 - Choose a player to be the first judge.
    a.. 4 - The first judge deals 7 red apples (face down) to each person (including themself).
    a.. 5 - Once players have all 7 red apples, they may look at them.
  Playing The Game 
    a.. 1 - The judge picks a green apple at random, reads it aloud, and places it (face up) on the table.
    a.. 2 - All players (except the judge) choose one red apple from their hand based on the green apple played.
      a.. For 4 players - Each player (except the judge) plays one 1 red apple. The fastest person plays a second red apple (1 than the other).
      a.. For 5 players - Each player (except the judge) plays one 1 red apple.
      a.. For 6+ players - Each player (except the judge) plays one 1 red apple. The slowest person doesn't get to play a red apple that turn.
    a.. 3 - The judge shuffles the face-down red apples so that nobody knows who played the apples.
    a.. 4 - The judge flips over each red apple, reading it aloud.
    a.. 5 - The judge selects his favorite red apple of those played and awards the green apple to the person who played it.
    a.. 6 - The judge collects all of the played red apple cards and discards them into the box.
    a.. 7 - The tray and the role of judge rotates clockwise (the next person on the left).
    a.. 8 - Before starting the next round, the new judge should deal out cards to make sure everyone is back to 7 red apples.
    a.. 9 - Repeat.
  Winning The Game 
    a.. 1 - Keep score by keeping the green apples you've won.
    a.. 2 - Here's how to tell when the game is over ...
      a.. For 4 players, 8 green apples win.
      a.. For 5 players, 7 green apples win.
      a.. For 6 players, 6 green apples win.
      a.. For 7 players, 5 green apples win.
      a.. For 8+ players, 4 green apples win.
    a.. When I've played we have motified the rules and not worried about the time.  This a fun game and a good way to use braille in a fun way.
