Theme and equipment

The game is a party and skill game in which the players try to push sticks into a balloon without it bursting. In addition to the instructions, the contents of the game box consist of a balloon holder, 15 balloons, nine sticks and a cube.

Style of play

At the beginning of the game, the balloon holder is set up and equipped with a balloon. The rods are inserted into the balloon holder and locked.

Starting with a starting player, the players take turns to roll the dice and then have to push one or more sticks into the balloon by as many stops as corresponds to the number of dice rolled.
