Clothespins!

Briarpatch`s Clothespins! Game Has Kids Hanging On to Their Shirts... and Shorts!

New Matching Strategy Is Good Clean Fun

Toy maker Briarpatch adds Clothespins! to its award-winning line of games that create smiles and good clean fun. Kids young and old will be holding on to their shorts and socks, and matching patterns or styles of clothing in this delightful strategy game that places colorful laundry on their clothesline. Like many Briarpatch games, no reading is required, making this an ideal family game for even the youngest members of the household.

"The very first time we played this game it really knocked our socks off," exclaims Marc Shinderman, General Manager of Briarpatch. "One second thought, the birds may have flown away with those socks, and that creates laughs and makes time fly when you play this fast-paced family game."

The object of this rummy style game is to score the most points by completing all three of your clotheslines, while placing three or more matching laundry cards in your hand on each line along with a finishing pole to close the line. Three pairs of shorts create a match, or even a polka dot shirt, socks and shorts... but as everyone knows, you can`t score points when you mix polka dots and stripes!

Clever players use their bird cards to swipe laundry from one clothesline to another. To end the game, one player completes all three clotheslines. To win the game, players count the cards that they have played and score points, while deducting points for any cards still left in hand. The player with the most points wins.

Complete game rules are tucked inside each box, including rules for younger players where the laundry-stealing bird cards need not to be played. Each Clothespins! Game comes with 4 game boards, 66 playing cards that feature 12 finishing poles, 49 laundry cards and 5 mischievous birds.

Recommended for 2 to 4 players ages five years and older.

Available for purchase online at Amazon and Toys R Us.

Clothespins! has received the Parents' Choice Recommended Seal Spring '08 and iParenting Media Award Spring '08.
