How to Eat Banoffee Pie (Anderson style)

First of all, give your spoon a good lick, to clear the soup off. Then when the dish is passed your way, pick up the dice and throw.
You are hoping for a 6, because that means you can help yourself to a nice spoonful of Banoffee pie, before you pass it to the person on your left.
What you want to avoid is a 4, because then you help yourself to a spoonful, but not of Bannoffee pie. You take a spoonful of cold baked beans instead. Yuk.
If you throw a 3, it is good for you, you still help yourself to a spoonful of pie, but not so good for the person on your left, because they miss their turn.
If you throw a 1, then some one gets to eat pie, but not you. You get to choose who.
On the first round, throwing a 2 or 5 is quite boring, you eat nothing, and pass the pie and dice to your left, but after the first round, things are different.
When you throw a 2, you get to take a spoonful of pie, but you feed it to the person on your left. If they then thow a 6 they do quite well.
When you throw a 5 you take a spoonful of pie, and you feed it to the person on your right. Only you have your eyes shut, and are guided by the person on their right. It can go smoothly, but some how it didn't

With special thanks to Nathan for making the pie, to Tim for having a birthday to celebrate, for Dave for devising the game, and to Dan, John, John, Peter, Colin, Dave, Mark, Luke, Nash & Mike.
