What happens on the card

Drag the party tray to bounce a gumball into a wall of wrapped presents and cupcakes (the cupcakes flinch). The golden present splits the ball in three, the green one widens the tray. When the wall is gone, the giant gift box behind it opens on the birthday cake, and the golden gumball hops from candle to candle to light them.

Who it is for

Gamers of every age, the friend with a console in every room, retro collectors, and anyone who likes to break things nicely.
