Children's Game

Fibber

Did you see a ghost? Or are you fibbing? In Fibber, kids wear special glasses that can hold "nose" pieces and play picture cards in order, and then tell everyone what they're playing. If you don't have the next card in order, you must play a different card - but don't get caught fibbing or your nose will grow! When the silver nose piece is played the game ends and shortest nose wins the game!

Grape Escape

Players form clay grapes with an included mold to use as their playing pieces. Players then travel around the board which is mostly covered by a hand cranked mechanism that will stomp, roll, cut, or cause other forms of grape torture according to what space you land on. If you get squished you have to re-mold your grape and start over.

Magic Labyrinth

The little magician apprentices have lost some magic objects inside of the master’s maze. Now they try to collect them before the Master notices anything. However, in the maze there are invisible walls and only one of the missing objects is revealed at a time. So they have to make their way through the maze by means of a good memory and lots of skill.

Each player moves their magician over the board while trying not to bump the labyrinth below. Each magician is joined with a magnetic ball so if you hit a wall the ball drops and you have to start all over again.

Super Ker Plunk!

"Ker Plunk is the game where you take your pick and pull a stick. If all the marbles fall, you lose it all! You're only sunk if they go...Ker Plunk!"

This classic game of skill can be learned in seconds, but it offers a fun test of hand-eye coordination that is challenging to people of all ages and skill levels. As a result, Ker Plunk was a popular favorite among skill-game enthusiasts throughout the 1960s and '70s.

The game consists of a clear plastic tube, 30 thin sticks, and 32 marbles. Play begins with the players inserting the sticks through the tube and then pouring the marbles into the top of the tube. The sticks act as a web that block the marbles at the top of the tube. At this point, the players begin to carefully remove the sticks one by one. The goal is to get the stick out without making any of the marbles sitting on top fall through. If any marbles fall through, the person who made them fall collects them. Once the last marble has fallen, players count their collected marbles, and the player with the fewest marbles wins the game.

Ker Plunk was first published by the Ideal Toy Company in 1967, then later by Mattel and finally by Tyco in 1991. Mattel also published a variant of this game called “Super Ker-Plunk!”, which is the very our library carries.
