corresponds to the game you want to play (see diagram).
Once you hear the game you want, press the Center Light Pod
to "select" that game. The unit will say the name again, and
now you're ready to play.
REPLAYING SELECTED GAME
When you've finished a game and you want to play it again, just
press any Light Pod and another game will begin.
SELECTING A NEW GAME
When you want to play a different game, press and hold down
the Center Pod for approximately three seconds until the lights
FLASH, you hear the start-up sound and "select game." Use
the pods to choose the new game you want, then press the
Center Pod to select it.

Object: Players try to get three in a row of the same color
either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
PLAYING THE GAME
•Decide who will throw first.
•Player's alternate turns tossing beanbags one at a time.
•The first player to successfully hit a Light Pod will be that
color (red or green) for the rest of the game. The other Player
will be the opposite color.
•As the game progresses, players try to get three in a row of
their color.
•Remember, when hit, the Light Pods light up in RANDOM
order, so if you need a green, you might get a red or even
NO COLOR AT ALL! Also, if you hit a Light Pod that is already
lit up, it will change color but not necessarily the one you
want. For example, if a Light Pod is red, and you want it to
be green, when hit it might turn green, but it also might turn
no color at all – so be careful!

HITS
A "direct hit" is when a beanbag hits the Light Pod it is
supposed to. A "wrong hit" is when a beanbag hits a Light Pod
it isn't supposed to. If a throw fails to activate a Light Pod,
glances the unit or misses it entirely, it still counts as a throw.
THE UNIT
To determine the "top" and "bottom" of the unit, make sure
that the arm that has the ON/OFF switch is on the RIGHT
(see illustration). This will help in game selection and also
orient the unit for game play.
NOTE: The Unit will enter "Sleep" mode if no activity is
registered for three (3) minutes. Press any Light Pod to wake
the Unit, but know that it will not resume the game that was
being played. After Sleep Mode, the unit automatically returns
to Start Up mode.
