Table top games seemed brilliant when I was a youngster.
Impact. Plastic tray with a curved rail.
Pendulum above it.
Drop marble onto rail and try to knock it off into the tray underneath.
Perfection.
Square plastic box with a floor you had to press down then fill the floor with different shapes before the timer ran out or it would spring up and scatter everything you’d successfully completed.
Ker-plunk.
Clear plastic cylinder in two halves you put together.
In the middle lots of holes you had to put plastic straws through.
Then empty marbles into it and take it in turns to remove one straw at a time without letting a marble drop.
Winner was the player with fewest marbles.
Mousetrap.
A boardgame where you build a crazy looking device on a flat base covered in numbers and instructions.
Every so often a player would make a move that would trigger the contraption you’d built. So you’d turn a handle which in turn would wind a crank that would trigger something else.....
