Builders of Babel (2023)

About this game

Once upon a time, humanity gathered to construct a large tower to prove their competence as an apex being of the world. While the god disagreed with their ambition, if the tower is complete, God may be forsaken and that is unacceptable. The gods punished them with thecurse of language and various obstacles to prevent the tower from rising higher than this. Builders of Babel is a party and puzzle game for 2-5 players where you need to erect the tower of Babel as a symbol of humankind's power. But this insolent action seems to defy the gods, so if they would build the tower over the limit or make it collapse, they will be punished. Let’s build the tower of Babel together in this “EUREKA’ 2021 Thailand Board Game Designer Awards” winner and try not to be named as a hopeless builder in the history of mankind. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• 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 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
