The Tower of Balance (2006)

About this game

This is a short dexterity game, played with a half-globe and six different pieces (cubes and cylinders) in six different colors. The game is about building a tower from the colored pieces on top of the half globe, which forms a wobbly surface. Each turn, a player rolls the die to see which piece he has to stack onto the tower. The player who makes the tower collapse, loses the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. 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 3 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
