The Valentine Board Game

        This Valentine board game is played using a button. Toss a big button so that it falls into a small box or box-cover. If it falls right side up, you may move forward around the board game with a token; if the button lands wrong side up, you stay where you are. The board game has two sides with "Valentines" numbered 1-6, however, the players will only need to move tokens on the side of the board where they are seated. Everyone starts at the Valentine who wears the crown and every player enters the Valentine that wears the laurel wreath to the center card of a maiden dressed in red hearts. You must have at least two people to play the game.
       Each player has a small piece of Valentine candy to use as a game token like: candy hearts or M&Ms, red tarts, whatever bite-size candy that the players enjoy. The aim of the game is to move about half of the board, tossing the button to land right side up, in order to eat as much candy as possible after landing on the Valentine at the center wearing a heart gown/dress.

1. To begin the game, toss a dice and the highest number will go first. 
2. The first player will continue as her play permits, tossing the button into the small box. 
3. Each time the button lands right side up, she may move forward one space. 
4. If the button lands wrong side up she must stay within the square she last landed and the button will be passed to the next player seated on the opposite side of the board game to toss.
   
5. Each player must move around their half of the board from 1 to 6, before landing on the center Valentine.
   
6. The reward for landing on the center Valentine is that the player may then eat her token and begin again, by adding a new piece of candy as her token to the Valentine crowned (1.)
   
7. The player that has the most luck with the toss of the button gets the most tokens to eat!
