Family Pirate Board Game for Kids 4+

Swashbucklers, beware! If the pirate pops up, you'll be out! TOMY's Pop-Up Pirate Game is brimming with excitement. Legend has it that Pirate Pete got stuck in this barrel years ago and is eagerly waiting to break free. The only way to discover if he's trapped or on the loose is to slide something through the sides of the barrel. Heart rates will rise, fingers will quiver... Will you be the one to free the mischievous Pirate Pete?

To play, take turns sliding one of your colorful pirate swords into the slots around the barrel. If nothing happens, you're safe. You can breathe. But wham! If you make Pirate Pete pop, you'll walk the plank right out of the game! Press and twist the pirate back into the barrel and keep taking turns. Nobody knows which slot will make him pop next – it's different every time!

Keep playing in rounds with family and friends, as this is one of the perfect board games for kids. The last surviving land lubber left behind wins the game! Pirate fans young and old will love this exciting kids' game that's quick to set up and easy to learn, but always leaves you wondering what will happen next. One wrong move and Pirate Pete is off to do more mischief!

The Pop-Up Pirate game promises hours of amusement. After all, who doesn't like to see a pirate get shot out of a barrel? The game is simple. The unlucky pirate is pushed into the top of a brown plastic barrel, readying the spring mechanism for his eventual launch. Players then take turns pushing colorful plastic swords into holes on the side of the barrel, one by one, until finally someone releases the spring and sends the poor little pirate on his way. Whoever makes the pirate pop loses, until the next round, that is.

The game includes a blue plastic base, the brown barrel (the sort that pirates would use for grog), and 24 plastic swords--six each of yellow, red, green, and blue. There's also lots of stickers of birds, smiling sharks, and even an ogling octopus, although they don't stay stuck very well. The pirate himself has a big black mustache and wears an eye patch and a purple plastic scarf over his head. Luckily, he doesn't seem to mind getting jounced around so much, since he also has a gigantic, if somewhat cautious, grin.

Push the pirate into the barrel, select your sword, then slide the swords into the barrel slots. Swashbucklin' Toys & Games: Pop-Up Pirate is the exciting and nerve-jangling kids game that's full of swashbuckling surprises for the whole family during family game night. Pirate Pete is hiding in the barrel! To get him out, players take turns and carefully slip one of the colorful pirate swords into the brown barrel. Which slot will make him pop? If you disturb Pirate Pete in his barrel, he'll spring out of the top and go flying into the air. No one knows which slot will make Pirate Pete pop up next! Every game features a different slot to make him pop, and the last surviving player wins the game. Pop-Up Pirate is fun for the whole family and is a great board game for 2-4 boys, girls, land lubbers, and older explorers ages 4 years and up.
