Tips for Play

• Steady Hands: Keep your hand steady while pouring to avoid accidental spills.
• Precision: Using a small measuring tool can help control the amount of water added.
• Strategy: Be mindful of how much water is already in the glass and pour accordingly.

Variations

• Time Challenge: Players have a limited time (e.g., 5 seconds) to make their pour.
• Blind Pour: Players close their eyes while pouring to increase the difficulty.
• Team Play: Players form teams and take turns within their teams, adding an element of strategy.
