Super Blockmasta Kidestructo: The Game
Posted on 02 29, 2008 under The Manual by Noodad |
Here”s a game you and your wife can play with your baby or toddler. It”s competitive, has sweet rewards, and your kid will get exercise. Now what”s better than that? Learn about the fun new craze that will sweep baby nation, Super Blockmasta Kidestructo: The Game
Here”s what you will need to play the game:
• 2 sets of building blocks (Not LEGO or anything that snaps together)
• A crawling or barely walking baby
• A desire to kick your wife”s butt in everything you do
• A willingness to bet on your building skills or pay the price
Here’s how to play:
Position you and your wife between 5 and 10 feet from each other. You and your wife each builds a tower of blocks. Once the towers are built, place your kid in the middle.The goal is to try and get your kid AKA Super Blockmasta Kidestructo to knock down the other person”s tower. So as you and your wife are furiously building towers, your kid is getting a workout of epic proportions.
Here are the rules:
• You and your wife must agree, before starting the competition, on a minimum tower height.
• You and your opponent must alternate “baby drops” every round.
• If there is one block that falls off your tower due to an action or reaction of your kid, it qualifies as a knocked down tower.
• You may not interfere with the path of your baby. You may not put up roadblocks in front of your tower and you may not throw bait like snacks in the direction of your wife”s tower. (I have tried this and although it works, it is unsportsmanlike and makes for a messy floor by the end of the war)
• All persuasion to the baby must be delivered without any physical contact
The Prizes:
You should make up prizes with your opponent well before the competition starts. I am a betting man, and my currency of choice is diaper duty. You can make it so each time your kid knocks down someone”s tower, that person must do the next diaper. By the end of the war you could end up doing diapers for the next week so be careful what you bet.
Have a small playing area? You can play Kidestructo Lite. Build one mega castle with your wife but with 2 towers. The tower that topples first loses.
Good luck Noodads. Now go kick some butt.

My wife and I use diaper duty as currency all the time too. LOL After all, it\’s really the only bargaining chip we can use these days!

*awesome* game and name: Super Blockmasta Kidestructo. Love it!
Our little tower-shredder is called Ava Monster. \”OH, NO! NOT AVAMONSTER! Don\’t come and destroy my tower!\”
Should we upload some Supadestructa shorts to YouTube and have a contest? Seriously?
