EIGHT build-your-own electronic games advent calendar, 24 games

About this product

Each window holds an electronic component, and the kit as a whole makes 24 different electronic games. A full instruction manual covers each build, and the text says all components and the relevant wiring are included.

It is listed as easy to assemble, interactive and battery operated; whether batteries are included is not stated. The calendar measures 18 x 13 cm, weighs 0.32 kg and is cardboard in black. The age range is teen and adult, and the model year is 2021. EIGHT describes itself as a British brand of electronic model building kits.

What to use it for

Collect the components window by window and follow the manual to build the games as you go. A table with room for the parts is the natural place to work.

Care and safety

Keep the small components and wiring in the box between sessions so none go missing. If you fit batteries, take them out of a finished game that will sit unused for a while.
