Description

"Looking to get out a little pent-up aggression but don't feel like destroying your flatware? Plunk-A-Skunk is for you. Fans of the Whack-A-Mole carnival game found on Jersey Shore boardwalks will be familiar with this game's manic bonking action. As each of the skunk heads on the playing field light up you have to ding them with the padded Plunk-A-Skunk mallet to score points. Bang away and skunks taunt and praise you with phrases like "Time is running out" and "You're awesome."

Electronic game, home variant of the popular arcade/funfair game where small creatures (usually crocodiles or gophers) pop in and out of holes in the board, and the players score points by hitting ("plunking") them with inflatable mallets. This variant uses skunk faces that randomly light up; the player scores points by hitting a skunk face when it is illuminated.

Mildly amusing fun, with limited replay value, and fresh batteries are a must.
