Staka (2018)

About this game

The general idea of the wooden game Staka is to stack and win, and the game comes with five modes of play: In Duel mode, two players compete to stack figures before their opponent. The first with five figures completed wins the game. In Flash mode, the players try to complete the figure against the clock, which is represented by a die that opponents roll and add up. In Crash mode, it's the first to crash the construction that loses. In Zen mode, take your time, put on your noise-cancelling headsets, and try to complete the twenty challenges in the game. In Art mode, unleash your creativity and build new figures. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. No complexity score has been recorded for this one.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
