YUBIBO is a cooperative dexterity game involving hands, sticks, and spongey balls. (Fun fact: Yubi means finger in Japanese, and bo means stick - "Fingersticks"!) Players take turns drawing cards that indicates which finger to use to support a stick. If the color of the revealed card is not the active player's color, the matching player color player is nominated. Nominated player: Connects the stick using the finger indicated on the revealed card. Active player: Connects the stick using any finger of their choice. If the color of the revealed card is identical to the active player's color, the active player nominates a player of their choice. Nominated player: Connects the stick using any finger of their choice. Active player: Connects the stick using the finger indicated on the revealed card. Can you hold up all sticks without dropping them on the table and defeat gravity itself? You can spice up the challenge by trying to place balls atop the sticks, but be warned! Each pair of sticks can only support one ball, and the balls can't touch any other balls or fingers! -description from the publisher
