If you eat a biscuit the hexagon it was in will change colour. The meanies cannot enter these hexagons and if you enter one you will die. Drop your hat to colour a hexagon white. You can enter these but the meanies can't. If you change a hexagon to white while a meanie is in it you will destroy him and gain 1000 points.
