== HOW TO PLAY =============== This is a toy that children can play alone or with their friends. The way to play it is to turn the knobs located on each side of the box in order to sail the boats across. There are 4 knobs on each side. Each knob connected to a plate which turning with the knob. Each player has to turn the knobs to transfer his/her boats from one plate to the next one until it reaches the end and the first one who can sail the boat across will be the winner. |
|
== PHYSICAL PRINCIPLE ======== The Principle underlying the toy is how children have to balance the object or the boat on the flat plate, which is controlled by turning the knob. While they turn the knob, they will creat a slope on the plate, which causes the boat to slide down and eventually fall on to the next plate that, by turning another knob, is already set in the position that will perfectly catch the falling boat. |
