We played | We played around with his <u>DOODLE BUILDER</u>. There is a <br> | ||
"doodle gun" with a magnet mounted somewhat as shown. | |||
[Diagram of a polyhedral shape with an item on the left end saying "magnet".] | |||
When the trigger is pulled the magnet is <br> | |||
pulled up inside so that anything that is <br> | |||
being carried is knocked off. <br> | |||
There are a number of different shaped <br> | |||
"building blocks", some with steel insert, other without. A <br> | |||
piece without an insert can only be handled by using one <br> | |||
of 4 "tools" provided. <br> | |||
There is a "base" on which structures are built and <br> | |||
2 sets of cards - one easy and one difficult - with structures <br> | |||
to be built. No piece can be touched by hand. <br> | |||
A 3-minute timer is set after the player has assembled <br> | |||
all of the pieces for the structure he draws and he <br> | |||
thinks about it for a reasonable time. <br> | |||
A player gets 10 points for completing the structure. <br> | |||
He loses 3 points from the 10 for each piece not in place. <br> | |||
If not completed the next player uses the same card. <br> | |||
I looked at his <u>RISK - IT</u> but we didn't get around to <br> | |||
playing. There are a series of cards with dashes and <br> | |||
[Diagram: ___□x, _x□□__, □_x□__] | |||
squares in different <br> | |||
arrangements. There are also sets of single letter tiles <br> | |||
and 2 - letter combinations. Each player gets a betting disc, <br> | |||
with numbers from 0 to 20 (I believe). |
