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).
