About this game

In this dexterity game you score points for removing blocks and placing them in a higher position on the X-shaped base. When this is managed without knocking down any blocks the player can remove a second block to keep as a scoring piece. Players also have to collect all blocks they let fall as negative points. Players can get rid of those by picking scoring blocks in the same colour.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
