Playing with two corks may seem primitive, but Corx is an original game of hand-eye co-ordination. You have two corx, each with one end red and one black. The aim is to gain points by dropping the corx from about 10cm on to a hard surface and making them land upright. Mastering the technique is hard at first, and can get repetitive and boring after a short while.
Verdict: Lacks fizz
