Plumber Pants

Will the plumber’s pants stay up?

Master Plumber repairs a blocked pipe underneath the sink. For this, he of course needs tools, and to have easy access to any tool, he has a tool belt on his trousers and tools in the toolbox. Children in the house want to prank the plumber: they put tools from his toolbox onto his tool belt and hope that the trousers will fall.

The tools are placed into the toolbox and the sink unit is filled with water from the tap. Players are active in turn; they take one of the tools in the toolbox and put it into the tool belt on Master Plumber’s pants. The pants, of course, get heavier and heavier with each tool, and when they become too heavy and the trousers fall off, the player who triggered the sliding-down is sprayed with water from the sink and is out of the game. All tools are taken off the belt and put back into the toolbox; to start the game for the next round, Master Plumber is pressed down into the sink and the game is begun by the new starting player. The last player in the game wins.

The main mechanism is familiar from many Hasbro games - for one reason or another, something is pressed at the unit, or pulled or added to the game unit. The integrated random generator or weight regulator triggers the game unit which then rocks on its foundation or closes its mouth or - as in Plumber Pants - drops the pants and sprays water. Familiar, widely used and loved by children - and why the sink sprays water when the plumber drops his pants is something we do not really need to know, the main thing is the surprise effect and fun.
