I think once the draw pile is empty you can't flip the white timer anymore.

[tomcrane]

Nice kite flying very funny knocking the timers over all the time

[jeffradiane]

Oh my gosh, this was tense just to watch! Haha. 😂

it would be an cost increase ... but would be nice to have those sand glasses mounted in a finger flippable case . each hourglass spinning around its thinnest axes

[mrs.spicer]

I bought this for my kiddos and I over the summer. We love it!

[davidhand]

Another idea for avoiding tipping may be a wider base for each end. Make it more stable.

Loved watching this game. Now I want to see them play with the others just to see their different reactions. Deborah, Aaron, etc.

[marquonuk]

Intriguing! Looks like a great ice-breaker. Going on the list. :-)

[christiansruiz]

omg love this show, i was thinking of geting this game so glad you made a video of this wonderful game, great fan from mexico, keep up the great work

[jeffyoung]

Aauchh, woof, fart, darn it. Love the fancy language.

Will look for a copy when I can.

[RobotButlerJ]

My heart is pumping and I am not even playing

[ClaudiaRodriguez-yqqx]

Seems like a great fun game! I wanted Proyect Elite for the real time experience, but this theme is more my think and also is more budget friendly😃

[edwindrood]

Here for Mary Poppins references, was not disappointed

[ianbirdsall]

The more you play, the more deliberate you become with the movement of flipping the sand timers so knocking them over becomes less of an issue.

[michellelast]

You can off set them to know which ones you flipped on the storm

[skrcmama]

Me I’m the small percent 😂 and I would have the magnets and a plate of metal in my house already 🤣😊

[lawrenberghanson]

Interesting mechanics. Maybe to avoid the tipping issue, the tops should be lightly magnetic.

[FrVitoBe]

wonder if a phone app timer would improve the game or not

[maxwellhouse]

Perhaps an easier variant could be to have at least one kite still flying or play multiple rounds and have a exponential score based on how man kites standing. Such a cool concept but they didn’t really nail the endgame

[fredp]

Is Nikki saying "Fart" her version of swearing?
