Shocking Tanks

Based off the popularity of the Lightning Reaction and Shocking Roulette we are proud to introduce the newest Shockaholic game. The package includes two remote control wireless tanks. The object of the game is simple: Located on the top of each tank are 6 lights. When you start the game they all light up. Each player has the option to pick a high or low voltage. If you choose the lower voltage, you not only will receive a lower shock, but each time you land a hit on your opponents tank you only extinguish 1 of his six lights. If you choose the higher voltage than of course you are a risk taker an receive a larger shock and you are granted a reward. The risk taker will able to extinguish 2 lights out of six for each time you score a hit on your opponents tank. The Tanks are radio controlled and wireless. They move forwards and backwards and run on tracks just the same as an ordinary tank. Each track runs separately via the controller's left and right throttles, thus making the tank have the ability to make sharp turns. There are 2 tanks and 2 controllers per package. Object of the game is to make all 6 lights go out on your opponents tank, thus ending the game. How twisted and fun does this sound?

"Why is it pointless?"

If I want a shock, I'll stick my fingers in the light socket.

"Why is it cool?"

The blurb says it may interfere with pacemakers.
