I just got this game for DS at a jumble sale today and it's got all its bits except... the instuctions leaflet. Can anyone briefly type out what we're meant to do please?

Have lost our instructions but can tell you roughly and hope it makes sense!

You start with the bottom of the beanstalk in the middle, put the top to one side and then turn over all the other pieces in a pile.

SHuffle the shape cards and then deal to each player either 3, 4 or 5 cards, depending on their age or how long you want the game to last!

Place all shapes in the bag and then each player takes it in turn to pull a shape from the bag. If it matches one of their cards then the shape is placed on to it and the player can take a piece of beanstalk to make the beanstalk 'grow', then play moves on to the next player. If they don't have the matching card then the shape is replaced in the bag, and play moves on.

When a player has all the shapes on their cards then they can spin the spinner when it is their turn. If it lands on the giant you shout 'Fee Fi Fo Fum', and play moves on. If it lands on Jack, then you put the top of the beanstalk in place and that player has won.

Does that kind of make sense?

I have this, if you need a copy I can always copy them for you.

Thank you - I just knew MNers would help me out with this one! I think we'll be able to figure it out from maltesersandmarmite's instructions but will shout again if it doesn't seem to work.
