GoGo’s Crazy Bones
WHAT IS IT?
It’s GoGo’s Crazy Bones, a weird series of little collectible figurines you can play the game crazy bones with.
“ARRG! May every curse ever cursed light on and blast ye, Bob!” ye may be saying, for ye may not know what “crazy bones” is or how to play it. Well, ye cur, give the man a chance to explain before ye start cursing him, else he chain ye to the keel for yer sass!
Here are the rules for the different games:
- Traditional game: Player tosses a Crazy Bone into the air. Points are scored depending on which side it lands on, with less likely sides (for example, landing straight up, or upside down) receiving more points. Standing up=5, on it’s side=2 face up=1 face down=0
- Battle: Two players arrange their Crazy Bones in parallel rows a distance apart. Players take turns trying to knock their opponent’s Crazy Bones out of the row. This is often the most popular game for school crazes as it can be played quickly and easily without much need to set up and without such a high chance of Crazy Bones being stolen.
- The Bomber: Players take turns throwing a single Crazy Bone into a circle containing all player’s Crazy Bones, attempting to remove them from the circle.
- Airborne: Throw your bone as high as you can being able to still catch it.Then pick up as many crazy bones as possible. (Like jacks)
- Basket: Players try to get their Crazy Bones into a shoebox by bouncing it against the floor and into the box.
- On the line: Flip a coin to decide who goes first. The person who goes first rolls, not throws, a Crazy Bone towards a drawn line. The person with the Crazy Bone closest to the line wins.
Bob isn’t much for fads, and for all he knows this one might already be over. But he likes collecting weird things. He can’t help it. He’s a pirate.
WHERE DO I GET IT?
Well, Bob stumbled across them in the collectible cards section at Target. A pack of three figures and three stickers only costs $1. You may not know what you’re getting, but that’s the fun of it, right? Whether you collect them ‘cuz they’re weird or ‘cuz you wanna play the game doesn’t matter. They’re pretty fun either way. When you’re stuck on a long voyage, sometimes you just want to sit on the deck with yer mates, play a game or two of crazy bones, and take yer mind off yer troubles.
