CRAZY BONES:
Released in 1996 GoGo's put a modern twist an a game originating in ancient Greece and became insanely popular with the craze lasting well into the early 2000s. The original game manual explains that Crazy Bones was actually inspired by a game played in ancient Greece called Astragal (translating to knucklebones). In Astragal, children played with carved sheep knucklebones that, because of their unique shapes, would bounce around in interesting or crazy ways.
In the 1990s, Spanish toy company Magic Box Int decided to create a sanitised modern version of the game with plastic figurines (since selling small animal bones to kids probably wouldnt go over too well). The original series from Spain were called GoGos. Each figure resembled the size and shape of real knucklebones, except they were designed as expressive, wacky characters that kids were encouraged to collect.
Over 350 million packs were sold in the first year alone. In a genius move, brothers Peter and David Gantner secured the US distribution rights and formed the company Toy Craze, manufacturing the iconic graffiti-art style Crazy Bones most 90s kids are familiar with.
Like Pokémon Cards and other collectibles from the 90s, Crazy Bones were sold in blind packs that came with four figures, four stickers, and a game card. Each series had exclusive characters that became rare collectibles.
The actual gameplay of Crazy Bones stayed true to its ancient origins, where kids would fling their pieces (either called a Crazy Bone or GoGo) to score points in different kinds of games. Considered the standard game type, Scoring is the closest to the original game of knucklebones that inspired Crazy Bones. Each player throws five Crazy Bones on the ground (like a dice roll) and collects points based on how each figure lands. For example, a figure that lands standing up is worth five points while landing on its side is worth two points. The player with the highest score after three throws wins the game.
Sadly, the original Crazy Bones we loved as kids were discontinued in 2003. However, the original creators (Magic Box Int.) rebooted the toy in 2007 with a new roster of more humanoid characters. This series was released worldwide, and like the original, different counties had unique characters you couldnt get elsewhere (like the Most Wanted set in North America), which made them notoriously hard for collectors to gather.
