Rickety Raft

APPROXIMATE BOX SIZE: 20.5" x 12.5" x 3" The gameboard is a blue-aqua 12" square plastic bowl ('pond') about 2.5" deep with individual scoring tracks along each side lip. The 'pond' is filled with water before play and a plastic/polystyrene circular raft 5" wide is placed on the surface. The raft is divided into two different colored sections along its axis of symmetry. Each player starts with six (three pairs of) men of varying shape and weight (and value: 5 or 10 points) which must be placed on the raft without causing it to overbalance. Players use a spinner to determine which particular weighted man must be placed on which side of the floating circular raft. When one player causes the raft to overbalance, their opponents receive points based on the number and type of their own men who were on the raft at that time. The first player to reach fifty points is the winner.
