Clack! Thwack Game

Put your speed, spatial reasoning, accuracy, and comprehension to the test with this fun-filled hidden picture game. With 2 – 4 players, place 7 of the cardboard game cards face-up in the center of the players, and keep the rest of the cards face down in a pile in the middle of the face-up cards. Starting with the oldest player, roll the two dice to determine which card will be the object of the round. One die has color and object types, while the other has the numbers 0 – 2. Each of the playing cards have 3 objects in different colors.

To play the game, based on which dice are rolled, the players race to “wack" the appropriate card with their “thwacking stick" (a red, plastic, 10.75" long stick that has a suction cup on the end). The categories to look for are colors, animals, trees, and cars. For example, if a red die is rolled with a number two, the players must race to grab a card that includes two red objects. If an animal and the number zero are rolled, the players must find a card that doesn't include any animals. The player who lifts the card with the suction cup first wins that card.

If there are no cards that match the dice on any given round, the players race to smack the card on top of the drawing pile. The player who successfully collects the card also gets to collect the 7 cards that are already face-up. If the player who collected the card was incorrect, meaning there was already a card showing that matched the dice, the player gives each of the other players one of their own cards. If the player doesn't have enough cards for all of the players, they must sit out for the next round. After all of the cards in the center have been claimed, the player with the tallest stack of cards wins the game. 2 – 4 players, with a 10-minute playing time. ~ Brianna
