INSTRUCTIONS
HANGMAN
Players: 2
Object: Guess the word that your opponent has chosen
before the skeleton on the gallows is complete and you are
hung!
Set-up: Insert the gallows into the slot on the blue Monster
Medic™ game board. Lay out all the bones of the skeleton.
Give each player a note pad, Hangman shield, and a pen or
pencil. Decide the number of rounds to play in the game (it
should be an even number).
Play: Determine which player chooses a word rst. This
player selects a secret word or phrase and writes it down on
a piece of paper hidden by the Hangman shield, so the other
player cannot see it. Then, on another piece of paper the
player who chose the secret word writes down blank lines for
each letter of the word or phase – this is shown to the player
that is trying to guess the word or phrase.
The guessing player begins to guess letters that may ll in
the blanks. If a guess is correct, the letter is written in the
appropriate blank(s). Each time the player guesses a letter
incorrectly, his opponent gets to hang a bone of the skeleton
onto the gallows (start with the head, then the body, arms,
and legs). If the player guesses the word before his skeleton
is complete, he wins the round and gets a point. If the player
is unable to guess the word before his skeleton is complete,
his opponent wins the round and gets a point. In the next
round the players switch roles.
Winner: When players have reached the determined number
of rounds (chosen before the games starts) they add up their
points. The player with the most points is the winner.
MONSTER MEDIC™
Players: 1 to 4 players
Object: The player with the most Monster Parts at the end
of the game wins.
Set-up: Turn the switch, located underneath the game
board, to the “ON” position. Place the Monster Medic™ game
board on a table or the oor and circle the players around it.
Make sure all the players can easily reach the tongs and all
parts of the game board. Place all the Monster Parts in their
corresponding shape openings on the game board.
Game Play: The youngest player goes rst and play passes
to his left. Each player tries to remove one of the Monster
Parts. If the player is able to remove the part without getting
buzzed by the U.F.O., he or she keeps the Monster Part
and passes the tongs to the next player. If the player gets
buzzed, the Monster Part returns to it’s location on the game
board and he or she passes the tongs to the next player.
The game continues in this manner with each player taking
a turn.
Winner: When all of the Monster Parts have been removed,
each player counts his or her Monster Parts and the player
with the most parts wins!
Use two AAA alkaline batteries only. Do not mix old and new
batteries
ON THE BUBBLE™
Players: 2 to 4
Object: Be the rst player to move your four game pieces
completely around the track and occupy your nish spaces.
Set-up: Each player chooses a color and places their four
colored playing pieces in their HOME spaces. Each player’s
HOME spaces should be closest to them and in the area
of the game board that corresponds to the color of their
game pieces. Each player takes a turn “popping” the die by
pressing down on the top of the bubble and releasing it. The
player to “pop” the lowest number plays rst.
Play: Each player in turn “pops” the bubble. A player must
“pop” a “1” before they can move a playing piece from their
HOME space to the starting circle. If a “1” is popped, the
player moves to the start circle and can take another turn.
Play moves to the left. Playing pieces are moved clockwise
around the track by counting the number of dots shown on
the die in the bubble. If a player has more than one piece
in the playing track, he may move the piece of his choice.
If a player’s playing piece lands by exact count on a circle
occupied by his opponent, the opponent must return his own
playing piece to his HOME space.
Note: Whenever “1” shows on the die the player may move
either a playing piece on the playing track or move a playing
piece remaining in the HOME space to the starting circle.

INSTRUCTIONS
When each playing piece has completed moving around
the Playing Track, it must enter the FINISH circles marked
1,2,3,4. A player must pop an exact count on the die to move
his playing piece into the FINISH spaces.
Winner: The rst player to move all four of his playing pieces
into his FINISH circles wins the game.
TIED IN KNOTS™
Players: 2 to 5 players
Object: Players place their hands and feet on the mat
according to the spinner. Players try to not touch the mat
with other parts of their body, and try to keep from falling
over–no matter how tied up they get ! The last player to fall
wins the game.
Set-up: Spread out the game mat in an open area (indoors
or outdoors). Make sure you have plenty of room to play. If
there are more than two players, select a player (preferably
the oldest) to act as a referee. (In the next game, let some
one else be the referee, and continue taking turns). If
there are only two players, then players spin the spinner
themselves, or they may ask an adult to be the referee.
Play: Players stand around the mat. The youngest player
goes rst. The referee spins the spinner for the youngest
player’s turn. When the spinner stops, the referee calls out
the position that the player must take. The referee calls out
the color of the hand or foot where the pointed end of the
spinner stops. For instance he may call out “Orange Hand”
The player then must put one of his hands on any orange
hand on the mat. The referee now spins the spinner for the
player to the left of the youngest player and calls out this
players position. Game play continues in this order.
Players must keep their hands and feet in the positions
called out by the referee, until they are given a new position.
For example, a player who spins “Orange Hand” on his/her
rst turn, and “Pink Hand” on his/her second turn must keep
his/her rst hand on the original orange position on the mat
and place his/her other hand on a Pink Hand on the mat. If
the player’s next spin is a “Green Hand”, he/she may choose
which hand (either the hand that was on pink or the hand on
orange) to move to the green hand position on the mat.
Only hands and feet may touch the mat. If any other part of
a player’s body touches the mat (no knees or elbows!), then
the player is out of the game. The referee must call out when
players are out. Only one player is allowed to occupy each
position on the mat, so a player may need to stretch to reach
an available space. But don’t fall ! If there is no free space on
the mat, the player must put his/her hand or foot outside the
mat, until his/her next spin. Players may lift up their hands or
feet for a moment to allow another player to pass into their
position.
Winner: The last player to fall/and or touch the mat illegally
is the winner!
