How to play Knife

1. Tap to throw a knife straight up. It sticks wherever it meets the log.
2. The log already has three blades in it, and every knife you land stays there and spins with it.
3. If a knife touches a blade already in the log, it bounces off and the run ends.
4. Stick all ten to clear it. The spin speeds up, reverses after a few seconds and then lurches back and forth.

Tips

• Aim for the biggest gap. Small gaps get harder to hit as the log fills up.
• The knife takes a moment to fly, so throw just before the gap reaches the bottom.
• When the log changes direction, wait a beat to get its new rhythm.
