This piece, sister piece to "Fair Game#1", enacts a slightly different carnival hunting game in a toy theater rendition. It also makes a shadow theater display of the events on a paper screen on the other end.

The viewer interacts by pushing the detonator to operate the land mine and blow up the traveling Hummer. A miserable scene all too common in Iraq at the time.
