Toys of Christmas Past - Part 26 - Pull The Rug Out

Pull The Rug Out - Schapper - 1968

Pull The Rug Out was a game where the object was to pile a bunch of plastic "junk" on top of a plastic rug and then "pull the rug out" without having any of the pieces fall over.

Box and contents of the game

Various playing pieces, spinner and rolled up rug.

This was a game for 2 or more players, although, it still could be played by one person.  You spin the spinner and if it lands on an item that has not been used, you would put that item (say a ladder) on the plastic slippery rug.  Spin after spin goes on, and the junk is  piled on top of one another.  Then at some point, someone will spin a "pull the rug out" turn.  They then need to pull the rug out without having the playing pieces fall over.
