PLAYED FOR YOU

Domino and Technology!

The crazy gift-vending machine is broken and must be repaired. To achieve this you must - in two different versions of the game - connect machine parts using domino pieces and then guess if the last piece will drop onto the target chip or not. If you guess correctly you receive gifts.

The 15 machine parts chips are laid out with one or two hands width’s distance between them, white side up; one of them is turned over to its yellow side for use as the start chip and the white chip showing the same image is the target chip. You roll the die and place as many domino pieces, starting on the start chip for the first player. You must build around obstacles. Should you run out of pieces, you take them away from the starting side and move the start chip up. When the connection is complete, all players give a guess on the outcome using their bet tiles. Then the player who placed the last domino piece rolls the coin down the starting ramp. If you guessed the outcome correctly - the last piece has fallen on the target chip or has missed it - you receive a gift, as does the player who rolled the coin. After six rounds you win with most gifts.

In the expert version you play with three special machine parts; one of them is integrated into the track in each round, you must always put two domino pieces in front and one in the back of the special part. 

Is this already physics or yet using building blocks? Never mind, it is fun in any case and a real oh oh experience, that a lightweight ball can carry over the impulse and what consequences a small change of angle can have! Informative and good fun!
