How the object weight ranking game works

The cards are objects, from things that sit in a desk drawer to things you could only ever visit, and you put them in order by weight in kilograms. The line under each name tells you exactly what's being weighed, which matters for planes, ships and rockets. One object starts on the line with its weight showing. Slot each new card into a gap. A right call reveals its weight, and a wrong one drops it into its real spot and takes one of your three lives.

Everyday sizes are easy to feel in your hand, so the small end rewards plain common sense. The trouble starts once things get too big to imagine lifting. Vehicles, monuments and machines jump past each other in ways that can surprise you, and a hollow shape can weigh far less than a solid one that looks smaller. Read the small print, because fully fueled and empty are very different things. Think about what each one is actually made of.
