Standardized Test Reading Terms Review

Of Mice and Men GAME OF LIFE
Directions:There are three dice to roll. The status of the character determines how many die will be rolled. The Rancher rolls all three, Curley and Curley’s Wife roll two, and George, Candy, and Crooks roll one (players take turns in this order). The game leader may affect the player's rolls by modifying how many times they may roll (more for the rancher to get higher numbers, less for the lower characters). This simulates the effects of the outside world at play on individuals' opportunities.
