Setup Differences for Two Players
Each player chooses a color and takes the toppings, die, and cutter/skewer of that color. The pieces for the unselected color are set on the table in easy reach (they will be used).
Randomly choose a starting player. The first player will alternate between the two players each round.
The first player is signified by placing the unselected color's die in front of him/her (ignore the 1st, 2nd, 3rd on the board). Set up the board as normal with all three colors.
Game Play
Each Round follows this sequence:
1. Add Toppings
In turn order, each player adds one of their toppings to the Pizza -- onto an empty space that is not next to any of their own toppings. If a player does not have any available spaces, they do not add a topping this round.
2. Unselected Color's Turn
The first player rolls the die of the unselected color and places its Pizza Cutter on the board over the line that matches the resulting number, from the direction not used by either player.
The same player then places one topping of the unused color on any empty space touching the Pizza Cutter. Leave that Pizza Cutter on the board.
2. Cut Pizza
Simultaneously, each of the two players choose a number (1-6) on their die and place it (hidden by cupping your hand over it) down on the table.
Once both of the players have chosen a number, both dice are revealed and each player places their Pizza Cutter across the Pizza on the corresponding line facing them, as revealed by the number on their die.
3. Replace Toppings
The cuts divide the Pizza into several regions (called slices). In each slice, the color with the most toppings replaces all opponents' toppings with their own. Removed toppings are returned to their respective owners.
In the case of a two-way tie for the most toppings, the third color's toppings are removed but not replaced. In a three-way tie no toppings are removed.
Safety Rule: If a color has no more than one topping in any slice, all of that color's toppings are safe and may not be removed or replaced this round.
4. Rotate the Pizza
Take all Pizza Cutters off of the board. Then, following the arrows, rotate the Pizza clockwise until each player has a new turn order designation in front of them.
Start a new Round.
End of the Game
At the end of a round, if a player has all 16 of their toppings on the Pizza they are the winner. If the unselected color has all 16 toppings on the board, both players lose.
Tie breaker: If two players run out of toppings during the same round, whichever player would end with more toppings on the Pizza is the winner.
