1. A game set for activating multiple payloads associated with first, second, and third mechanically attachable and electrically connectable modules, the game set comprising:

  • a first module that comprises, in a first enclosure;

    a battery couplable for supplying DC power;

    a battery compartment for housing the battery;

    first software and a first processor for executing the first software, the first processor is coupled to the battery for being powered by the DC power; and

    a first connector for electrically connecting to, and for releaseably mechanically attaching to, another module, the first connector is coupled to the battery for providing DC power to the another module;

    a second module that comprises, in a second enclosure;

    a second connector for electrically connecting to, and for releaseably mechanically attaching to, the first connector;

    a first payload coupled to the second connector for being powered from the DC power; and

    second software and a second processor for executing the first software, the second processor is coupled to control or activate the first payload;

    a third connector for electrically connecting to, and for releaseably mechanically attaching to, another module, the third connector is coupled to the second connector for providing DC power to the another module;

    and a third module that comprises, in a third enclosure;

    a fourth connector for electrically connecting to, and for releaseably mechanically attaching to, the third connector;

    a second payload coupled to the fourth connector for being powered from the DC power; and

    third software and a third processor for executing the third software, the second processor is coupled to control or activate the second payload;

    wherein upon electrically connecting and releseably mechanically attaching the second connector to the first connector and the fourth connector to the third connector, the first and second payloads and the second and third processors are powered from the battery, and wherein the first processor communicates with second and third processors.
