HOW TO PLAY
1

Give each player a hard-boiled egg, traditionally dyed red.

2

Pair up with another player, each holding an egg with the pointed end facing outward.

3

Tap the pointed end of your egg against the pointed end of your opponent's egg.

4

Whoever's egg stays uncracked keeps their egg and moves on to challenge someone else in the group.

5

Repeat pairings around the room, removing cracked eggs from the running each time.

6

The player whose egg survives the most taps is declared the winner, said to bring good luck for the year.
