Jack-O'-Lanterns Print-'N-Play

Pay what you want, including FREE! A Halloween treat bag treat that unrolls and is really neat. Drop candy, draw carved pumpkins.

Two games per a sheet - a sheet of paper that is, not a ghost one. Doublesided printing on regular, 8.5 x 11 inch paper required. Use white with the miniumum color PDF file, or buy some orange paper to make the black ink only versions.

Guidelines help you cut out the scroll. Fold it in half. Use the paper from the margins trimming to wrap and hold it closed with a dab of clear tape. Tube rings also help guess the height to drop candy from for fair play.

Be the first to draw a complete face on all 13 pumpkins. Jack-o'-lanterns are complete when they have two eyes, one nose, and one mouth.

Each player will need: their own scroll with scoresheet of 13 pumpkins and candy landing target. 3 pieces of candy like Nerds, Skittles, M&M's, Smarties or Rockets. A pencil so you can replay by erasing until your paper disintegrates.

See what you may draw this turn. Drop 3 candies at the same time on the target from a height of 2 inches. (About 2 tube rings high.) How it lands are your options. Any candy out of bounds is an "Eye." You may re-drop 1 single candy per a turn to try and improve your results.

Eye, nose and mouth Features landed on can only be drawn on the same single pumpkin.

Knives let you draw any feature on any pumpkin. You may draw as many different features as you have candy on knives.

Pick a side when candy lands halfway between two target areas. If most of a candy is on one area that is the one it is.

Draw with your pencil the facial features you have chosen. You do not need to complete a pumpkin before going on to the next.

When all players have finished drawing go on to the next round.

Continue until one or more players say they are "DONE!" because they have drawn all four features on all 13 of their pumpkins.

Solo Legacy Game

Start with 9 candies. Drop 3 on the target. Any candy that falls out of bounds is still an "Eye" but eat and eliminate it from the game. Can you draw all 13 jack-o'-lanterns before you eat all your candy?

The PDF files of the old, First Edition are still available on this page. They're the 3 files with the word "old" in the front. You can use the current components to play by the old ruleset until ties occur. Then you will need 2 regular cube dice, or a dice rolling app, or tell Google to "roll 2 d6" for the result.
