In the classification of animals, they are in a phylum of their own, Mollusca, class Gastropoda, the snails and slugs. Many people aren't aware that snails are neither insects nor reptiles. The only difference is that you compete against yourself, trying to better your score with each game. The game play is the same whether you play alone or with other players. The player with the highest total score wins. The game continues until each player has scored all 14 categories on his boodle sheet. ea = 12 pts.Ħ of 7: 1 each from 6 of these 7 categories: Birds, Reptiles, Space, Insects,ģ & 3: 3 of one Caboodle category and 3 of another e.g., 3 oranges and 3 shellsīirds: birds, eggs. ea = 6 pts.ģ & 3: 3 of one Kit category and 3 of another. Wings: birds, bats, ladybugs, pterosaurs. That way, you can try again for Caboodle 3 & 3 on a later turn. Or you can take zero in Oranges, which is worth just two points for each picture. Rather than take a zero or a low score in one category, you can take a zero in another category that you're less likely to get.įor example, if you're trying for Caboodle 3 & 3 and don't get it, you might want to take a zero in Kit & Caboodle with the Jester, which is harder to roll. Other times, you don't create any sets you can use. Sometimes, you try for a category and don't get the score you hope for. Sort the dice and decide which set is worth the most points and which category you can score.Īt the end of your turn, mark your boodle sheet - even if it's a zero - and pass the dice to the player on your left. Depending on your roll, you may want to try one more time for your original category, or you may decide to switch to a different category altogether. Sort the dice that fit your category and put them aside. If you don't want any of the dice you rolled, don't put any aside. Put aside the dice that fit your category, and don't roll these dice again. Based on the sets created by your roll, decide which category you'll try for. If you create a set you like on your first or second roll, you can skip your remaining rolls. On your turn, roll the dice up to three times to create sets and score a category. You don't have to play each section all the way through - just play enough to get the hang of it. Start off by playing just the Kits, then the Caboodles, and finally the Kits and Caboodles together in the standard game play. The player who rolls the most orange pictures begins.Ī good way to learn Kit & Caboodle is to play a practice game. Keep the "Boodle Sheet Guide" below handy while you're playing. To begin, give each player a boodle sheet and a pencil.

Here's how to explore the possibilities - let's say you roll:ģ & 3, the fourth Kit option, gives you the most points, so you'd fill in a 20 in the 3 & 3 category of your boodle sheet. The Gamewright jester is wild - use it any way you want, in any set you create.
Now consider the fact that they're orange and see what other possibilities exist. Ladybugs, for example, have wings and a shell, so they can be used to create sets of Wings or Shells in the Kits section, or Insects in the Caboodles section. Since each picture on the dice can be used in more than one way, you need to think flexibly.
The Caboodle categories are sets made up of classes, such as space objects, syllables, or types of animals. The Kit categories are sets made up of traits, such as wings, shells, or color. On your turn, you can try for either a Kit or a Caboodle category, but you can't mix Kits with Caboodles. Keep in mind that each category can only be scored once. No matter what you roll, you must score one category on each turn, even if it's only a zero. Sort your dice and decide which set is worth the most points, then mark your score in one of the 14 categories on your boodle sheet. Roll the dice up to three times to create sets from the pictures on the Kit & Caboodle dice. On each turn, you must score one category. Play 14 rounds until each player scores all 14 categories on his boodle sheet. There are 14 categories on the boodle sheet: four Kits and ten Caboodles.
