Thumb wrestling game board
View Patent ↗A thumb wrestling game board is disclosed, instituting pin-or-pop technology and rules that prevents participants from aggressively pulling and jerking their opponents. A stem at the center of a reaction device is designed for players to grasp while they compete. If a player accidentally pulls their wrist lanyard and it dislodges an attached pin, an elastic band with a ring activates the reaction device. The ringing of a bell, flashing of a light, or vibration indicates the player has lost through the “pop method” of the game.
