Take the game out of the box and set up the pieces.

  1. Assemble all the pieces to Daddy's bed. Some stickers go below the alarm clock, along with on the headboard and at the bed's foot. You will also need to place Daddy into bed before attaching the headboard. Daddy also needs to wear his yellow bed cap (unless it falls off).
    • Place Daddy's bed on the board. On the newest copies of games, there's a dashed line that forms the "border" to the place of where to put the bed and in what direction to put it.
    • Snap Daddy into bed.
    • Prepare the spinner. Not only will you need the cardboard with the color, but you'll need the spinner arrow and the spinner base, which attaches to the bottom of the card. If you've already fixed this, you may just need to get this spinner out from the box.

    You can't really tie with anyone because you are spinning the wheel one at a time. You can be on the same lane but you can't win at the same time.

Warnings

  • This can be a frustrating game. You'll probably get upset and feel like Daddy is rigged if Daddy jumps up too many times. However, this isn't that way. You just have to be patient!
