PLAYED FOR YOU

Barbapapaboom!

So they are back, the funny pear-shaped transformation artists, loved by all children! And the phone booth fun is exactly up their street!

The Barbabies want to phone home and talk to Barbamama. This is only possible with the help of Barbapapa; he turns himself into a pink Barba phone booth, and players must squeeze all the Barbababies into it without causing the phone booth to explode. In a game of three players each player has a complete set of seven

Barbababies, four boys and three girls, Barbibul, Barbidou, Barbouille, Barbidur, Barbalala, Barbotine and Barbabelle. For any other number of players you simply heap all the babies in the middle of the table. In your turn you take a Barbababy, fold it tight and squeeze it into the booth through one of the openings at the sides. While doing so you can only use one finger on the roof to stabilize the booth. When the booth explodes, you win if you were the last to squeeze a baby in successfully. When all babies are in the booth, all players have won together.

In a somewhat more difficult version a die with numbers comes into play. In your turn you roll the die, it states the number of babies that you must squeeze into the Barba phone booth. If you manage this, the next player rolls; if the booth explodes you win again, if you were the last who managed to squeeze the number of babies determined by the die successfully into the booth.

The babies are easy to fold and it is up to your dexterity to squeeze the bundle between a baby already in the booth and one of the bars of the booth so that it does not unfold; a wonderful training for motor skills.
