Curse of the Cobras
To this day I have no idea why my parents bought me this. Indeed, they have no idea why they bought it either. I do know it was on sale with £2 off though ( £6.95) , so that may have had something to do with it.
Stick blue plastic Ankh's into a sarcophagus and if you hit the incorrect one a skeleton will rise from the crypt and two cobras will snap round your wrist. Yes, it really does happen. You read the box correctly ages 5 and up, well I was 8 and terrified of it!
I think the fact that these things actually jumped from the housing and closed round your wrist was the most terrifying part. There was plenty of clearance so they never actually damaged your skin, but it certainly made sure you were awake. It's one of the lesser known games, but if you like suspense and scaring your kids, this is the one for you!
