Incl. 118 elmts, age 7+, by Rose Art. Marked down to $10 at my local Kmart,
then $8. BUT! the MISB set I bought was missing the game board.
I operate the Children’s Program (ages 6-12) at the Philcon SF convention, and I’ve been exploring ways to expand the presence of
PBBs in it. The kids liked “QuikWars” last year; “Builder Xtreme” seemed a good
idea, and the instructions confirmed it, but I’m still planning a playtest.
For two to four players. Objective: Be the first to complete your mini-model.
There are five sets of four instruction cards (for reasons of part count), and
you choose one for the session. The circular game board has the parts inventory
at the center (divided into three sectors), and a path around the edge. Roll a
die to advance. Squares direct players to pick one or two pieces (from one or
any of the sectors), steal a piece from another player, or “helicopter” to any
other square.
The 118 pieces comprise a good selection: bricks, slopes, plates, 4x2 wing
plates, hinges, click-hinges, wheels, translucent 1x1 round plates, and accents;
plus basebal caps as markers. The mini-models each have ~20 parts. They’re
red, yellow, green, or blue; with white, grey, black, lime-green and orange
accents. The models are boats, cars, planes, robots and animals.
