Electronic Whac-a-Mole (1999)

About this game

This is a battery operated home version of the arcade game of the same name. There are two variants - the familiar "Whac a Mole (on the top of the head)" for 1 or 2 players, and a "Follow Me" game, which is a mole version of Simon. Instead of moles popping up out of holes, they have lights on top of their heads.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• 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 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
