Product Information

To spin the squares, players tossed beanbags onto the place of choice, then watched as the three-sided surface spun and stopped on its fated letter (or lack thereof).

I have a bunch of random 70’s toys that are well loved (by 5 children) and have missing or broken pieces BUT to a collector or toy lover I may have the piece needed!

It is for two players you stand apart and open your arms and the bouy zips down to the other player and they zip the bouy back to you.

This is why the neutral squares had small X and O decals on them; if you hit the small X, the square would turn to X and stop.

One was a fan controlled balloon (I think with a lunar lander base) – I think it had a tether to keep the balloon from continuously flying further away.

The balls should be split between the two buckets on the endlines and there should be enough tennis balls so the throwers have at least three throws or more.There was a chute at the top where you dropped in oblong plastic pieces that had teeth that would make the gears turn as they fell to the bottom.
