Assemble all your pieces.

Once your pieces are assembled, you are ready to play. Follow the instructions on page 3 to play your game. Instructions for the game. Use a die or a deck of cards with the face cards removed. One player is Pac-Man and the other players are the ghosts. Place the ghosts in the rectangular box in the middle of the board. This is their starting point. Any number will release the ghost players onto the board. Place Pac-Man under the rectangular box in the center. The Pac-Man player has the first move. Use the die and roll a number to move the characters around the board by counting the small Pac-pellets as one space each. You may instead turn over cards, and use the number on the card to move the characters on the board.

Object of the game – Pac-Man must try to get to all four large Pac-pallets before the ghosts catch him. The ghosts must land on the same small Pac-pellet as Pac-Man. Should the ghost catch Pac-Man the game is over.

When Pac-Man reaches a large Pac-pellet, cover it with a foam circle. Set a timer for three minutes. This is the time that Pac-Man can catch any ghosts that are closest to him and send the ghosts home. Should Pac-Man reach all four large Pac-pellets the game ends.
