Pop-up Pirate

Pop-up Pirate is a popular luck-based game for children manufactured by Tomy.

It originated in Japan in 1975 under the name One Shot Blackbeard Crisis (Japanese: 黒ひげ危機一発, Hepburn: Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu) and has seen many iterations over the years.

Players must take turns to insert plastic swords into slots in the side of the barrel.

According to Dominic Wyse, a professor of early childhood and primary education at University College London, the game improves children's motor skills, as well as in common with other games promoting turn-taking and having fun together with others.

The North America version is titled as Party Fun Pirate, which was released on April 13, 2009.
