"Yeti in My Spaghetti": $12 ($6 off)

"Yeti in My Spaghetti"
Amazon

This wacky game with a silly name is exactly what it sounds like. A yeti figure is relaxing on top of a bowl of spaghetti. Players take turn removing spaghetti noodles until the yeti is close to falling.

Apparently as much as yetis apparently like the noodles, they don't need to actually fall into the bowl. If the yeti falls into the spaghetti, it's game over. So you need to try to keep it out, much like the marble game "Kerplunk," to the best of your ability.

This fun little family game is just $12 during Prime Day, which is $6 off its normal price.
