Monsterstarker Glibber-Klatsch

Monster or Garbage bin! 

Swatting monsters with elastic, nicely gooey Glibber hands on a Glibber lash ending in a sturdy plastic handle. Possible prey for those hands are ten City Monsters and four Glibber Monsters and a Garbage Bin, all on thin cards. You take a Glibber hand and lay out the Glibber Monster of the same color before you. City Monsters and the Garbage Bin are laid out within easy reach of all players. The spinner shows all 14 monsters - for a round, you turn the spinner to determine a City Monster or a Glibber Monster. All players then have one go at swatting and thus picking up that monster with their Glibber hand. If the spinner indicates a City Monster and you manage to swat only this monster, you move your marker by two goo spots on the edge of the box; if you picked up additional monsters, only by one spot. The same goes when the spinner indicates an opposing Glibber Monster. If the spinner indicates your own monster, you need to swat the Garbage Bin for two spots on the edge. Your monster is, of course, an opposing monster for all other players and the can swat it for spot movement.

If a monster ends up sticking to two Glibber hands, you keep carefully pulling until one player wins is and scores for it or the monster drops off, which gives all other placers a chance to swat it.

For a new round, all monsters are removed from the Glibber hands and laid out again. If your marker reaches the ladder on the box edge again first, you win.

Not new and not good, but better! The idea of the Glibber hands is cute and not only a challenge to the speed of reaction, but also to dexterity and hand-eye-coordination.
