Booby Trap has been an old favorite, since the 1960s, full of exciting tension with action that can move fast. One wrong move, and the pieces will go flying to make any turn exciting. The game requires a steady hand and an observant eye in methodically withdrawing pieces carefully lest the spring-loaded tension bar goes off.
Booby Trap is a game for people of all ages that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Simple to play, the rules are barely complicated, allowing you to dive right into the action without necessarily following a long learning curve. It's so easy to set up and play that both children and adults will love it.
Gather your family and see who can be the most skilled and have the best luck in Booby Trap. That is, challenge to pull the most pieces out without having others fly off and cause a load of laughter and competition along the way!
