Ker Plunk!/Toss Across/Tip It 3 Pack does a fairly good job of duplicating the table-top games. Each game starts off with you choosing the number of players, whether each of the players is human or A.I. driven, the difficulty setting of the game and what avatar each player will use. Instead of forcing the players to have multiple GBA's and copies of the game, which doesn't really seem necessary for turn-based games, you just pass the hand-held back and forth as each person's turn arises.
Ker Plunk! consists of a tub with dozens of holes in it. At the beginning of the game, dozens of sticks are put in the holes so that they form a kind of net and the tube is filled with marbles. Each player removes a stick and any marbles that fall appear in his/her bin. The person with the least amount of marbles when the tube is empty wins.
Toss Across has you changing the power and position of your toss. But it isn't quite that simple. Below the power level bar, there is a toss angle indicator that moves back and forth, and in order to get an optimal toss, you have to time your action just right. The goal is to get three X's or O's in a row. One of the things that makes this game different from your typical Tic-Tac-Toe is that you can toss a bean bag into a square that is already set and change it to your symbol. You can also land the bag between two squares and change both of them.
Tip It is probably the more difficult of the three games and challenges the players to collect three discs of the same color. A turn starts with a spin that tells you which colored disc you will try to get. Then you choose the peg of discs that you want to retrieve from. Move your fork to the peg with your color on top and try to remove it carefully. If you get the disc off without touching the peg, then it counts.
