Who it's for

Fans of spatial puzzle games and set-collection drafters who enjoy a bit of hands-on building at the table.

Not for you if…

You dislike games with a physical building element that can wobble or collapse β€” Yaxha's pyramid stacking is central, not decorative.

🦊

Vibe's take

Tactile and spatial, with satisfying physical stacking mixed into a sharp drafting puzzle over ten steadily building rounds.

About this game

Yaxha rebuilds Mayan pyramids on the tabletop, three colored blocks at a time drawn blind from a bag. You draft market tiles to grab blocks, then stack them so every block touches another, chasing the biggest visible color groups and bonus goals across ten rounds.
