Check-up Charlie
2–4 players · 2 min · 3+
This is a game for children who like to play doctor. The vertical board features a picture of Charlie who "has the Icky Wickys and needs you to help him feel better!" On your turn, you select what sort of check-up you'd like to perform: Ear Scope Check-Up, Thermometer Check-Up, X-Ray Check-Up, or the Ankle Cast Check-up (which must be done last). Each check-up has an instrument to use which also reveals a hidden picture. For example, the Thermometer tip is inserted into Charlie's mouth and pressed until the window pops open, or a slide is inserted into the X-Ray machine and a light is switched on to reveal the picture. If the picture of a happy Charlie face appears, you are successful and you take a puzzle piece depicting the check-up and place it in a frame. If an Icky Wicky is the picture, your turn ends and you must perform the check-up again later. The first player to perform all 4 check-ups successfully (and thus complete the puzzle) is the winner.
