About this game

This game is all about balance. The board itself is hinged and moves as players move their metal balls across the boards' surface. Which ever way the board is tilting towards decides whose turn it is. It is possible that a player might get two turns in a row if the board still tilts towards them after they move a ball. The first player to get all 8 of their balls to the other side of the tilt-table wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
