Whack the Stack

Whack the Stack is a family game first played on the original version of Takeshi's Castle.
The child has to sit on top of a stack of three big disks while the parent stands at the side with a giant mallet.
The parent has to first whack the middle disk so that it flies out from the stack. As they hit it, the child needs to jump up, so that the tower has no pressure on it, letting the disk move out without taking the one above with it. If they manage to do this successfully, the top disk will drop down onto the bottom disk, and the child will end up back on top.
Next, the parent has to knock out the bottom disk. Again the child needs to jump at the right time to allow this to happen. If they get it right again there will just be one disk left, with their child sitting on top, and the pair will have won the game.
If the tower falls over, or the child falls off at any time, the game is over and the pair has lost.
