Game Setup
1. First lay out two "T Connectors" on the left and right
2. Next lay out two "Elbow Connectors" on the top and bottom
3. Connect all four pieces into a square as shown, with the "T Connectors" facing up
4. Now find two short pipes and attach to the "T Connectors" so they are standing straight up
5. Attach blue scoring rung
6. Connect two more short pipes
7. Attach green scoring rung
8. Connect two score tracking pipes between the green and yellow rungs (We find it easiest if the score for both teams are kept on one target, so insert both scoring pipes on the First Target)
9. Finally, place the yellow scoring rung on top to complete the target
