Each player gets a set of acrobats (1 through 5). The objective is to stack the acrobats one on top of the other (from 1 to 5). Throwing the die; the highest throw starts. Each player throws the die until they get a 1, then a 2 and so on to stack the 5 acrobats. A player who throws a 6 loses a turn. If the stack of acrobats falls, the player will have to start again from 1. (source from the directions on the box)
