I think once the draw pile is empty you can't flip the white timer anymore.

[@ianbirdsall9407]

That's correct, makes the end game faster and more chaotic.

[@davidarnott4850]

Yeah, I knew that, too... but got too excited to play this for my first time :)

[@marilynalberts4508]

Glad someone said that

[@improg]

I love the official Sand Timer View®

[@FloodgateGames]

Thanks for playing Kites!

[@jeffradiane]

Oh my gosh, this was tense just to watch! Haha. 😂

[@mrs.spicer]

I bought this for my kiddos and I over the summer. We love it!

[@tomcrane9448]

Nice kite flying very funny knocking the timers over all the time

[@jeffyoung5923]

Aauchh, woof, fart, darn it. Love the fancy language.
Will look for a copy when I can.

[@marquonuk]

Intriguing! Looks like a great ice-breaker. Going on the list. :-)

[@RobotButlerJ]

My heart is pumping and I am not even playing

[@christiansruiz4943]

omg love this show, i was thinking of geting this game so glad you made a video of this wonderful game, great fan from mexico, keep up the great work

[@ianbirdsall9407]

The more you play, the more deliberate you become with the movement of flipping the sand timers so knocking them over becomes less of an issue.

[@deedd4401]

it would be an cost increase ... but would be nice to have those sand glasses mounted in a finger flippable case . each hourglass spinning around its thinnest axes

[@ClaudiaRodriguez-yq1qx]

Seems like a great fun game! I wanted Proyect Elite for the real time experience, but this theme is more my think and also is more budget friendly😃

[@lawrenberghanson4401]

Interesting mechanics. Maybe to avoid the tipping issue, the tops should be lightly magnetic.

[@edwindrood2816]

Here for Mary Poppins references, was not disappointed

[@michellelast8876]

You can off set them to know which ones you flipped on the storm

[@thestorythusfar911]

Yes!!!!! This makes me happy!

[@Warriorking.1963]

This game's a real breeze...🤣

[@FrVitoBe]

wonder if a phone app timer would improve the game or not

[@machineFa8]

I think this a great dexterity game

[@maxwellhouse750]

Perhaps an easier variant could be to have at least one kite still flying or play multiple rounds and have a exponential score based on how man kites standing. Such a cool concept but they didn’t really nail the endgame

[@ianbirdsall9407]

You're gonna love Skyrockets! Coming this fall.

[@fredp8574]

Is Nikki saying "Fart" her version of swearing?

[@bayareamasto]

It’s a warning/heads up

[@Bunny2086]

Does it bother anyone else that there's no green kite? 🧐🪁

[@aleg2490]

Probably for accessibility purposes, these are very easily distinguishable :)

[@Bunny2086]

@@aleg2490I crave the whole rainbow😆
