ORIGIN: UK Pocketeer

VARIANTS: None

GAMEPLAY: One of the rarest Pocketeers, and one of the few not to be entirely self-contained in play - in Blowpipe, you assembled the eponymous weapon from the pieces inside the case (the two yellow tubes form the pipe, and the three black pieces form the mouthpiece, connecting clamp and sight), which itself then becomes the target for the little sucker darts. Crossbow was almost identical to Blowpipe in principle, but instead of a blowpipe, you constructed a crossbow (natch) which used a rubber band for propelling the darts.
