¿Question #5202?
puffinge: Do you enjoy playing the carnival games? Do you like Whack-a-Mole in particular? If not, what's better?

BOBBYCAN: I have in the past. We haven't had one in years.
DiamondSylph: Games where you win a fish. (I won a fish, and the unkillable icthyian menace lives with me still.)
Caerid: Yes, no, skeet ball
Spirit of 70: I do, and while I like Whack-a-mole, I prefer Skeeball.
hellibrarian: skeeball is more fun!
daveroswell: Whack a vendor
ebbonloft: Shoot the Star
kathleenryan: ring toss onto the bottle neck
atrium: No, they are not fun to play and I wouldn't know what to do with the prize if I won it.
WonderLlama: No. I can't think of any I like.
gsilva: Anything with darts.
Mike McCall: No, and no.
aleo09: never played
DHEK: Some carnival games are fun. Whack-a-Mole is fun, too. If it's an automated game (like a video machine) and it's not playing for prizes, what's particularly fun if you're going in a group is to have everyone guard a hole each and ensure that every mole that comes up gets hit for sure. That way you can get an insane score. :)
Lothartvni: Those games that push the coins are fun.
2amp: no
Leo-T: gotta be in the right mood (alcohol helps). Don't care for whack-a-mole, but like the pitching/throwing games
dougpartridge: don't enjoy
vampywife: i LOVE carnival games! i'm not as fond of whack-a-mole, but it's ok. i like the games with the water cannon/gun things, i also like the dart/balloon games, and a few others i can't remember right off.
JonBen: Carnival games are fun to play buy really painful to pay for
bigbadsteve: sure. its allright. i cant really think of any offhand
Nekura: Yes, No, the one where you shoot the target with a water gun to make the horses move
puffinge: it's just ok, Whack a Mole is one of the better ones. UPDATE/ Now that's interesting, Dorque. I played lots of that in Wildwood, NJ. They call it Fascination there. It is very addictive.
Dorque: Yup. Nope. Cedar Point, Ohio. Huge room with like 50 sit down cabinets. You roll balls at a 5x5 grid of holes. Announcer says what the goal for the round is. If you hit it first (four corners, row of five...) you get tickets based on number of players. Turn in tickets for cool junk. It's like skill Bingo, and I've never seen it anywhere else.
grinningpik: Somedays, Whack-a-student works well.
skrutsch: They cost too much, but Whak-a-Mole if fun.
scriptorum: Not particularly. Whack a mole is ok. Games where you get to spritz stuff with water has moderate entertainment value.
SiddGames: Not especially.
Cyren: yes, and yes
vetinari7878: No. No. The shooting range.
POvidiusNaso: Nope.
talanthan: For short periods of time. No. Tossing softballs into baskets or balloon darts.
CortexBomb: Not really. I am vaguely fond of "launch the rubber frog off the platform with a mallet" and boffed a carny with one of the things once as a kid...but beyond that they don't really appeal.
jttm: No, I like mocking the little children who fail to win prizes.
Sparta: Ring toss
skelebone: I'm not too fond of carnival games, though I do enjoy a good round of "Urinate on the Arctic Bird"
Lord_Prussian: Some. It's ok. Some of the marksmanship games are, although most are not.
CDRodeffer: Whack-a-Mole is just OK, but I prefer the one where you shoot a jet of water at a target to make the race horses advance.
chaddyboy_2000: Not really.
