Product Description
The Original Battling Tops™ action game is back with a new look!

First introduced in 1968, the classic action game consists of two to four players facing off in an arena, each with their own spinning top. Last player spinning, is the winner of the round. First player to win ten rounds is the grand champion. Players launch their tops into the arena with spinner handles, spinner stickers and score pegs.

* Two to four players launch spinning tops into an arena.
* The object of the game is to have the last standing spinning top.
* The game takes place on a circular concave arena with four spinning top launch positions.
* Players wind a string (attached to a pull tab) around their tops, place them in the launch positions, then pull the tab vigorously to release the top.
* The concave surface forces the tops together to battle.
* The outcome is somewhat indeterminate, but there is a slight element of skill.
* Pegs in holes on the rim of the arena mark victories.
* The first to win ten battles wins the game.
