It’s your turn, you rotate the crank, The game comes alive as you laugh and remember playing the original board game (first released 60 plus years ago in 1963)

      I always discover your levels with great pleasure and intrigue!:D
      Thanks for your new card. I haven't played the original game, but I think you captured and adapted it very well into mekorama. I'm sure of this because I know how carefully you pay attention to the details and mechanisms on your cards.
      Yes, perhaps someone will say that there is no gameplay for the player. But! It's a completely different genre - it's an adaptation of a real game, and it's very difficult to do in mekorama. I think you did a great job as always:thumbsup:. I watched with great pleasure how the mechanism worked. Thank you, 5 from me;)

      Ah childhood memories of many a happy hour playing the game. What an amazing & faithful homage to the game. You managed to incorporate most of the elements and in the right order; you have the crank, the ball roll ladder, plumbing, the bathtub, the see-saw, diver & tub, and of course the falling trap. Excellent. :):thumbsup:

      I loved to play « Attrape souris » when I was a kid. A friend of mine had this game…

      Your meko-version is excellent !
      Special mention to the ball lader … and the diving board :thumbsup:

      Ps. Zero gameplay levels are most ok to me when the show is cool !

      Yes, what the people above said. I completely agree this should be rated in its genre. What a set of intricate mechanisms, that are a joy to experience. I remember the overstimulating commercial for the game. :rotf: This has better pace.

      Thank you,
      @ridgerunner, @Denis Nazin, @ArGee, @Valentin, and just now @Block builder
      The original game is probably one of the most recognizable “Rue Goldberg” machines that “do a lot to of nothing” to complete a simple task. (Maybe knocking over a line of Dominoes is better known)?
      I’m pleased it was enjoyable enough to watch, rate and comment on - and spark an enjoyable memory or two!
      Thank you all!!!

      When the gameplay does not matter nothing... pure Meko-art in motion... besides, seeing @cimarronline video we can see how realistic you made it... a perfect level to sit down & enjoy eating pop corns :cool:... thanks for sharing @97 NinetySeven ;) astonishing job!

      Thank you @cimarronline, for posting the video. It’s a great reference.
      And thank you @delator77 for watching, rating and commenting. You could actually finish a handful of popcorn with the slow speed of the Mekorama version.

      Another Tour de Force. I'm a long, long, retired IT solution designer but formerly mechanical design engineer. I always look forward to your mechanisms and this long awaited design did not disappoint. Thank you for sharing.

      I remember how much fun that game was, :rotf::rotf:! Do they still make it? Thanks for a brilliant representation of the original.
