Sylvanfair's greedy gremlins game is easy to learn and fun to play!

All players will sit in a circle and will be passed an empty sack.  I, the
gremlin master, will sit in the center of the circle with my tokens.  When we are set, I will present a puzzle to the group.
 
  On your turn you will get a chance to guess a consonant.
Guess correctly and you win a token for
each correct letter to put in your sack -- you greedy gremlin!
You will also be given a chance to guess the puzzle.
Be aware!  If you guess an incorrect consonant you must pay a token from your sack.  If you have no tokens, the gremlin master will forgive you your debt.

There is no penalty for incorrectly guessing the puzzle...
Other than ridicule from the
gremlin master and other players!
 
  On your turn you may elect to PAY two tokens from your sack to buy a vowel.
If you pick a vowel that is in the puzzle, you will get another turn.
I will show the puzzle, as it stands, to the group before each person's turn.
The player that correctly solves it will collect a
two token bonus.
  After two puzzles are solved greedy gremlins will be over ...and the person with the most tokens in their sack will win a special prize!

Note from Wexna:  I'm sorry but I can't please everyone.  Minor errors that are obvious typos will be overlooked when players solve the puzzles.  (i.e.  THE solved as THR)  If this upsets anyone, there are other things to do in the lands.  I do the best I can.
