Race Game

Project Number: 57

OBJECTIVE: Build an electronic game for racing.

Description: Modify Project #56 by adding the pointer as shown on the left. The paper should be cut from page 46 and taped high enough on the speaker (SP) so the pointer will stick over the fan (M1) with paper. Bend the pointer at a right angle as shown on the left. Setup: Cut out the grid with four (4) colors from page 46 and place it under the base as shown on the left. Each player picks a color (or two colors if only 2 people are playing) and places a single snap on row G. The purple player in column 1, the blue player in column 2, the green player 3, and the yellow player in column 4 will be playing. Spin the wheel by closing the press switch (S2). The first single color wedge that the pointer points to is the first player to start. In some models, you only have three 1-snaps, so use a 2-snap if you have four players. The Play: Each player gets a turn to press the press switch. They release the press switch and when the pointer points to a wedge the players that match the colors on the wedge gets to move up one space. If a liner comes up like the one shown on the left then the players on each side of the line gets to move up two (2) spaces. The first player to reach the top row (A) wins. If two players reach the top row at the same time they must both drop down to row "D" and the play continues.

(NOTE: If you have Snap Circuits Classic (Electronic Snap Circuits), Pro, or Extreme you can use four (4) 1-snaps because you have six (6) 1-snaps in these models).
