Who it's for

Groups who like spatial abstracts with real presence on the table. Best at four.

Not for you if…

You are prone to analysis paralysis, because reading the three-dimensional structure can take a while, or you dislike direct blocking.

Vibe's take

Physical and spatial, with the tower deforming under everyone's competing plans until someone finds a route nobody else can copy.

About this game

A tower of chunky wooden blocks sits on the table and everyone wants to stand on the highest one. On your turn you move or rotate a block, then climb, and every block you shift changes the route for everyone. Ladders get you up the tall steps, and your blocking disc stops one rival using the block you were saving.

You move the blocks you are climbing onLadders and blocking discs are limited resourcesChunky wooden components, no cards at all
