About the game
Reminiscent of a College drinking game, players roll and move around a board taking a drink when the board square instructs. Each time a player passes the 'start' square he must take a 'Pink Elephant' card which contains a tongue twister. If he managers to recite the card three times successfully he gains the card. The first player to obtain 10 'Pink Elephants' is declared the winner. A large disclaimer at the end of the rules: "Not intended for use with Alcoholic Beverages."
