- Synopsis
- Cut out illustrations of Woody Woodpecker and Scotty MacTape, tape them on to "cardboard stands" (using Scotch Brand Cellophane Tape, of course), roll the "game box" (a cut-out, six-sided cube, held together, as expected, with Scotch Brand Cellophane Tape), and advance your characters through the forest to the safety of Woody's tree. But watch out for those sneaky termites from Mars. You can either be "Attacked by Termites from Mars!" and must return to "Start" - or "[Trap] Termites from Mars with Scotch Brand Tape" and advance six spaces. A wolf can also delay you, while a horse will advance.
