Description

Get ready for a blast from the past with Hoopla, a classic action and dexterity game from 1966. Designed by the legendary Marvin Glass, this game is a unique contraption that's as much fun to assemble as it is to play. The goal is simple: use a unicyclist to collect small plastic colored hoops of varying values from the end of a plastic chute. Sounds easy, but it's not as straightforward as it sounds. The unicyclist moves around a circular trapeze wire, and you'll need to manipulate the angle of the circle using handles to get it to pick up the hoops. As you play, you'll need to navigate the challenges of the game, including two settings - easy and hard. On the hard setting, you'll have the chance to steal hoops from your opponents, adding a fun layer of strategy to the game. But be careful, because if the unicyclist or hoops fall from the contraption during your turn, you'll be penalized. With its simple rules and fast gameplay, Hoopla is a great choice for 2 to 4 players looking for a fun and lighthearted game that can be played in just 30 minutes. With its unique blend of action, dexterity, and humor, Hoopla is a game that's sure to bring laughs and excitement to your game night.
