A physical game where an egg drops from a moving spoon through large pegs toward five scoring dishes whose values move after every egg

JUL 29 · JAPAN EXPORT · ABOUT 20–30 SEC

BOILED EGG DROP

Read the moving spoon. Commit one egg. All five dish values move after every egg.

TODAY'S NEWS

Former professional baseball player and TV personality Eiji Bando died on July 22, 2026, aged 86, his family announced. He was also warmly remembered for his love of boiled eggs, so we turned that memory into a small physical timing game made with respect.

HOW TO PLAY
  1. WATCH THE SPOON
  2. DROP ONCE
  3. AIM FOR FIVE DISHES

Score twelve eggs. After each landing, all five values—10, 20, 30, 50 and 83—move before the next egg. The 83 honors Bando's 83 strikeouts in the 1958 Summer Koshien tournament.

An unofficial tribute. No endorsement or affiliation with Mr. Bando, his family, representatives, teams or broadcasters is implied.

WHY THIS GAME?

Instead of making the obituary itself a mechanic, this tribute transforms Bando's familiar boiled-egg image into an old-fashioned timing toy. The 83-point value moves after every egg as a quiet nod to his verified 83 strikeouts in the 1958 Summer Koshien tournament.
