Pool Party is the sort of fast-moving, hilarity-inducing fun that makes for the very best kind of party and family game. It's pure action from beginning to end, with players racing to get enough of their divers into the pool to win before it tilts and they all fall out! The unusually colorful, richly conceived components are reason enough to play. Each player gets a team of 9 divers, folded plastic cards with kooky imagery that can be sent flying through the air with a slight press and release. Aim, height and trajectory seem to improve with every shot and before you know it, divers are landing in and glancing off of the topsy-turvy pool, causing it to precariously swing, wave, and wobble. The first player to get 3 into the pool without it dumping the divers wins the round. With all players in on the action from start (signaled with a shout of 'CANNONBALL!') to finish, Pool Party is exhilarating, exciting group fun for everyone!
