Drumond Park’s brilliant, brand new table-top game brings the never-forgotten thrills of the gaming arcade to youngsters aged five and up. Crazy Claw (rrp £22.99, for two to four players) is a colourful, action packed game of boiling, bouncing balls and a grabbing claw, operated by each child in turn.
From the start, everyone gets involved by manipulating the paddles to keep those balls bubbling about within the box, while the Clawmaster does his or her best to capture a ball with the grabber. Then comes the excitement of opening the ball to see whether the circular Toy Token inside matches one of the three toys shown on the Clawmaster’s Collection Card.
The cube-shaped Crazy Claw box is a scaled-down version of the real thing, with four see-through walls, and four paddles – one on each side – fitted into its sturdy base. Each player is given a Collection Card, and the youngest person takes control of the grabber first. The other players start to pound up and down on all the paddles, creating mayhem within the box - with the colourful balls bouncing in all directions.
So while all this frenzied movement is going on… can the Clawmaster keep his or her cool – and capture a ball? Next comes more anticipation all round as the ball is opened. If you’re lucky enough to discover a Token which matches one of the pictures on your Collection Card, you place the Token on the card and the empty ball is returned to the box. If you pick up a ball containing a Token which doesn’t match, it goes back in the ball… and back into the box. Likewise, if you find the ball you have grabbed is empty – back it goes into the box!
To win the game a player must collect all three Toy Tokens which match the three pictures on their Collection Card. Until that point, everyone just keeps on taking turns and trying to master those bouncing balls – while their fellow players keep them moving… This is a brilliantly loony game - but one that’s set to be hugely entertaining this Christmas. It’s masses of fun for everyone!
