This is the full set of bot chips - covering 61 different teams, and a set of three Left-Right-Shelf chips.  You could play a complete game with a dozen people, or just start your game with your favorites!  Or if you're feeling wild order another set of dice, give everyone 10 bots, and roll up to 6 dice a turn!

What is Left Right Shelf?

Left-Right-Shelf is a dice game that is extremely similar to Left-Right-Center that is fun for the whole family to play. Your 4 year old niece, your 94 year old grandpa, and your uncle who might have imbibed a few beers can all enjoy this game together.

Set up:

First, have each player grab a chip at random. Whoever has the strongest bot goes first! If you can't agree which bot would win, choose new chips, play rock-paper-scissors, or flip a coin.

Next, give every player enough Big-Bot-Bits Pokerchips so they all have 5. (For games with seven or more people, you can start at 4 chips each.)

Then, set up the "Shelf" in the center of the table - it's fun to find a small platform like a tray or a puzzle box - but you can designate an area of the table to be the "Shelf." If there are extra chips after giving each player their starter set, place those chips on the shelf.

Game Play:

On your turn, roll as many dice as you have bots on your team (chips) - up to 3. (3 or more chips = roll 3 dice, 2 chips = 2 dice, 1 chip = 1 dice). Now, depending on how the dice land, you have to take actions with your bots.

If you don't have any chips, you have to skip your turn. But don't leave the table! Your neighbors will pass you some chips soon!

Play continues around the circle, with each player rolling dice and distributing their bots accordingly, until only one player has any bots remaining - they win!
