ID an old board game please

Bean0 · 4 Feb 2007 at 00:02

I have searched and Googled with no joy

There was a game back in maybe the 80s or maybe 90s, where players sat opposite each other and turned cogs/wheels to make their tokens drop down to the bottom of the board, each turn on the players side affected the other players side.

Any ideas ???

Kerplunk? Behave :rolleyes:

What a sissy game that is.

Screwball scramble is where it was at. Skill, precision and expert timing required.

Yeah they are the wrong way round, and one of the red ones looks wrong, I had that game as well. And Downfall.

So what was the one with the ball bearings that sat in the middle of a plastic ring that you fired round the board off the 2 elastic bands at the top. IIRC there was a grid at the bottom of the second side that was the scoring part.
The Dragster game really reminds me of it as I thinkthe board was the same yellow plastic.
