Perfektion

nursery fixture

Players are tasked with sorting shapes into recesses within a time frame. A board with a timer has recesses for 25 geometric shapes in a 5x5 grid on a so-called Plop Plate, which pops up when the time runs out.

The active player shuffles the shapes and sets them out with the handles pointing upwards. The switch on the board is turned to “Stop”, the mechanical timer is turned to Zero and the Plop Plate is pressed down. Then you turn the switch to „start“ and the active player places the shapes into the corresponding recesses while the timer counts down the seconds. When the 60 seconds on the timer have run out, before you have placed all shapes, the Plop Plate is triggered; it pops up and ejects all shapes in the plate. If, however, you manage to place all shapes in their recesses before the timer has run out and the plate pops up, you have won. You quickly turn the switch to “stop” and make a note of the time at which the timer stopped. If you play alone, you can now try to undercut your own time. If you play with others, all of them in turn must now try to undercut your time in order to win.

Perfektion is one of those returning bestsellers in today’s Hasbro range and that of the predecessors, for instance Lakeside Games or MB Games, and also in German or Dutch editions; the game is re-published again and again in varying designs; this edition, for instance, has an integrated facility for storing the shapes. For this game, the motto “old, but good” is absolutely true; the game is perfect practice for recognizing geometric shapes, for hand-eye coordination and motor skill
