Catch a Falling Star
Light a fallen star again by adding magnetic and balanced sticks without a wobble.
Who it's for
Parents with five-year-olds who like a calm, tactile game that is not about winning big. Easy to bring along since the box is small.
Not for you if…
You want decisions or strategy. The skill here is steady fingers, and the star will not tolerate sweaty ones.
Vibe's take
Quiet, focused and a little suspenseful. Kids hold their breath on every stick, and the star never quite stops wobbling.
About this game
A fallen star has gone dark and needs to be lit again. It sits on a rod, and each player has a handful of light rays, which are sticks, to add to it. Some sticks carry a magnet and click on easily, others have to be balanced carefully on top. First to get all their rays onto the star wins. It works in the same spirit as Klickado, with the same simple pleasure of building something that might wobble at any moment. Gentle, short and quiet.
