PIRATES!
In 
Pirates! game, children have to sail a pirate ship by blowing wind using a fan toy (A). In order to find enemy ships, children can use a compass toy (B), which always points at the nearest enemy ship. A burst of cannon balls are fired when a chip (C) is placed somewhere on the table. This is used to aim the direction of the cannon balls.
The fan toy has plastic blades and a half black/white dented wheel that spins when children spin the blades. By pointing the fan to the ship, children control direction and speed of the ship.
The compass toy is a small cylindrical hash of optic fibers which transmits the image projected from the base of the toy to the top face of the cylinder. Any image projected on the base of the toy, is transmitted to the top face of the toy.
Up to three children can cooperate in these game, one is in charge of the fan toy, other gives directions using the compass on the other in in charge of aiming the cannons.
