To Play:
Pull back the spring rod, and place all the colored disks behind the "wall". Slowly release the rod until the disks are firmly packed together behind the wall. Take turns removing disks one at a time: I don't remember the exact scoring, something like 5, 10, 15 points (small discs worth less). The idea is to remove the discs without letting the spring'ed wall pop back (which makes the disks fly out). Whoever has the most points at the end wins. Looking back now, it could be a dangerous game - someone could get a finger crushed or broken by that thing! I could be a bit off on the rules - been over 30 years since I've played it!

I just bought the booby-trap game and there are no rules with it. Does anyone remember how to play it?

The most annoying thing about Booby Trap was the huge amount of time it took to "set up" the game itself....but i still have my original game...think its worth anything today??

This was such a cool game. I really enjoyed playing it. It was another one of those great Christmas gifts!

This was my older brother's game which made it that much more enticing to me. He is 7 1/2 years older than I am. He would always set it up and magically it was my fingers that would always get pinched! Then, I would cry and mom would yell...he would get in trouble...he may have been older, but who was smarter???
I vividly remember the color and feel of these game pieces.

I got the Lakeside version of this when I was about 9. I spent hours playing w/ it. I bought one for my classroom a few years ago, but my kids didn't like it b/c they replaced the rubber band w/ a metal spring. If you moved one piece, they'd all go flying.

That was a fun game(at first) but I might as well just played with a mouse trap for as many times as I got the dreaded PINCH... After a few pinches no one wanted to play with it anymore.. lol

I remember mostly playing this game with my brother Joe..He was eight years older and it was one of the games (along with "Tip-It" and "Hands Down") that we always played together when he came home from college. I still have all of these games,with all of the pieces.I've been teaching Phys. Ed. for nearly 30 years and I bring these games out at the end of the year when we do quiet activities.

The wooden dowel rod made a great weapon!

I remember playing it. You always know you were in trouble when the parts would shift just a hair. The next thing you know, POW! Wooden pieces everywhere!

Another great toy that was designed for fun first and safety second. That spring-loaded bar would snap shut with amazing force and if your fingers got in the way... Yeowww! But we'd keep playing it!

The only thing I remember about this game is that the little wooden pieces (yes, they were actually WOOD!) were always all over the house...
