Before I read the description I was working under the assumption that this toy was just a massive translation c*ck-up or something.
But I don't really see how someone misinterpreted 'Russian Roulette' since the description sounds pretty much in tune with the definition for that particular method of death. All I really know about this toy is: TOY FAIL.
Kaba Kick is marketed as a 'Russian roulette' toy gun game for children who want to play a game of chance. Basically they put the gun to their head, pull the trigger, and hope they don't get kicked in the temples by the pink hippo. Your guess is as good as mine.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I don't want to see my child play a game based on a method favoured everywhere by those with death wishes, mobsters, and various other scary people who like to keep their prints off the gun. That just doesn't sit well with me.
So we will pass on Kaba Kick and it's death by pink hippo and stick with Pick-up sticks or Jenga when looking for suitable game of suspense for a child thankyouverymuch.
This game seems almost as exciting as the Deer Hunter board game.
*rolls dice*
Dammit! Lost again.

Wow. There is as much wrong with the packaging as there is the "game". Count me out thanks.

Okay, this is bad. Really bad. Parenting and manufacturing fail. Do not teach kids this is a game. Yeah, I'm with you. But, I am totally distracted by the fact that the packaging seems to be in what? Chinese? And the translations are to German and English. Also, it seems to be scanned from a print ad. Like, where is this normal?

Dude...stuff from other countries is always so wack. The rest of the world makes America look halfway sane.
