Description 
The fun game where you let hats fly for points. Flying hats is a game that has been around since 1930 and has been played with pleasure for decades. Flying Hats is known under different names: Hat Wip, Hat off, Hupla, Jumping hats and The flying hats.

The game is a variation on the well-known flea game. The fleas have been replaced with hats by this game and the whipping is done with a wip. With the little wip you have to shoot a hat in the air and let it land in the box with holes, each hole has a point value, the one with the most points wins the game. 

Place a hat on the lowest end of the 'wip', a light touch on the top part makes the hat fly through the air. 

• The best distance between box and wip is 25 cm.
• For a hat that ends up in one of the holes, the player gets as many points as the number below the hole indicates; If a hat falls in a compartment in which one or more hats already exist, the player gets the number of points, multiplied by the number of hats in the hole.
• A hat stays on the field. Then it may be replayed.
• For a hat that falls next to the box, no points are given.
• Determine the number of laps to be played in advance.
