About this game

The game involves placing wooden pieces on a tower, each piece consisting of a line of 5 colored cubes in different arrangements, so that each piece touches the piece(s) below it only where the colors match. The player who is unable to place a piece or who knocks the tower down is eliminated. The game comes with a solid wooden plinth to place the first piece on, 60 wooden pieces and a large cloth bag to draw them from.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 99. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 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.
