Daruma otoshi is a traditional Japanese tabletop game in which you stack wooden cylinders topped with a angry-looking wish doll face and then try to kick out the cylinders one at a time, from bottom up, with a mini-hammer. In this rather non-traditional version of the game, six giant foam cylinders sit on a giant yellow base and are topped off with a happy-looking head. Same idea--you have to kick out the layers one at a time with a hammer.
Here, Lara (of coordination skillz video fame) gives it a shot. This photo captures the beautiful moment right before the thing falls almost on her head. Luckily she gets out of the way just in time.
This is also part of the fun we had at Muscle Park last month.


Ahem... Daruma, yeah... that's it, a giant daruma.
