🛠 About the Product / Function

This game is a variation of the classic “flea game,” where the “fleas” are cheerful little hats. Place a hat on the low end of the lever, tap the high end, and launch the hat toward the box. Each hole has a point value, and if there are already hats inside, the score multiplies. If a hat lands on the field, the player gets another turn; if it misses, no points are awarded. The ideal distance between the box and lever is 25 cm. The player with the highest score wins. Comes complete with multilingual rules (NL/FR/DE).
