Booby Trap

Booby Trap... one false move and...! This game was madeby Waddington. You pulled back the spring-loaded bar and filled it with the coloured pieces. Large pieces were worth 20 points, medium 10 points and small 5 points. Each player took it in turns to remove one of the pieces without disrupting the bar and sending all the other pieces flying. The player with the most points won the game.

    A great game for all ages, I had an elderly aunt who used to enjoy playing it. The first few were usually easy because you could see they weren't touching but after those were removed, it got trickier. Still have it on top of the wardrobe - might have to get it down and play it with my cousin's young kids.

    I loved this game and would still play it if I owned one. I suppose it was probably banned after somebody got one of the coloured pieces embedded in an eye ball (they used to go with quite a force). Those were the days... when simple boxed games represented a clear and present danger when played.
