How to play

Sit the players in a circle and hand the parcel to one of them.
Read the story out loud, slowly. Every LEFT sends the parcel one player to the left; every RIGHT sends it one to the right.
Whoever is holding the parcel on the last word of the story keeps it. The host sheet tells you how many passes each way to expect.
