Who gets rid of their eggs first? Each player starts with 7 eggs in their basket. The first player rolls the die, if a 1-5 is rolled the egg is placed in the corresponding egg-cup, on a 6 the egg is fried and leaves the game. If the player happens to roll a number which corresponds to an already filled egg-cup, the player takes back the egg, and the turn ends. Otherwise the player can continue their turn if they want. On a players turn, they must roll the die at least once. First player to empty their basket wins the game.
