Barn Buzzin' Goofy (1999)

About this game

This is essentially a two-player version of Loopin' Louie, rethemed to take advantage of the Disney license. Some have reported taping bits from two Barn Buzzin' Goofy sets together to make a "poor man's Louie," but according to others, there are subtle differences in the design (arm balance, paddle size, disc diameter, etc.) that weaken this edition. From the back of the box: Down on the farm, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy are getting their crops ready to go to market. But watch out! Overhead, Goofy is trying to fly his plane. Every time Goofy swoops too low, he hits the pumpkins and watermelons, and makes them roll out of the trucks! Help protect the crops from Goofy's dips and flips-send his plane back up into the sky! To win, be the player with pumpkins or watermelons left in your truck.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 3 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
