How to Make Your Own Chestnut Game
What you need- Two shoe box covers of the same size, 14 Chestnuts or marbles, 1 die, A sheet of star stickers, and a black permanent marker.

What to do- First draw a line directly down the center of the inside of both shoe box covers. Second, draw eleven boxes on one side of of the line in both box covers. Third, write "end" and "start" in the first and last boxes.
Fourth, place one star sticker every third box except for the "start" and "end" boxes. Fifth, put seven chestnuts in empty half of the boxes. You are now ready to play.

Game Rules
Each player rolls the die once. Whoever has the higher roll goes first. Then, that player takes their first chestnut and rolls the die. The player then moves that amount of spaces. You must reach the end space on an exact roll. Every time you reach the end, that chestnut is removed from the game. The game is continued with the next chestnut, etc. To win the game you must be the first person to use up all their seven chestnuts.

Optional Playing Rule - The Stars
If you land on a star space your opponent must go back to the "Start" space. Giving you an advantage.
