Angry Birds: Knock on Wood

Angry Birds: Knock on Wood is a board game based on Angry Birds that is planed to be released in in May 2011 by Mattel. It is a game that enables players to create various structures that other players myst attempt to knock down.

The contents of Knock on Wood include three Birds (Red, Yellow, and Black), four pigs (Normal, Armor, Mustache, and King), fourteen wood blocks, 56 mission cards, and a single slingshot. All of the items are made of plastic.

Gameplay
Two to four players are required to play the game. The objective is to score a total of 1,000 points before another player does. To achieve this goal, one player must select one mission card, then the second player must assemble the structure using the appropriate number of wood blocks, Pigs, and bonus (orange) items. Upon completing the structure, the first player then proceeds to use the slingshot to fire Birds into the structure. As with the game(s), the number of birds available are pre-determined, as shown on the bottom of each card. If not all of the pigs are knocked down by the time the last pig is used, no points are accumulated. However, if the player does succeed, points are earned, with the value pictured on the top of each card. Harder structures will award more points, as easy ones will award fewer points.

Trivia
