Ideal first released KerPlunk in 1967, and eager gamers opened
the box to find a clear plastic tube, 30 thin sticks, and 32 marbles.
The sticks acted as a web that held the marbles at the top of the
tube. The idea was to get as many sticks out as possible without
letting any of the marbles fall through.
KerPlunk hit it off with game fans immediately,
and continues to be popular today. Small things for small....?
