Description
This wooden topple tower game is a mini take on the classic stacking challenge. It has 54 wooden blocks in red, turquoise and natural wood, with the grain left showing. Stacked, the tower stands 18.5cm tall on a base 5.5cm square, so it sits neatly on a table without taking over. Each block is approximately 5cm long, 1.5cm wide and 1cm thick, easy to pinch between finger and thumb and slide free. The whole game weighs 0.245KG, and the blocks pack into a tall box carrying the Wild Bear badge.
We love how simple the play is, and how it gets everyone leaning in. Build the tower in layers of three, then take turns easing out a block and setting it on top, keeping the stack standing for as long as you dare. When it finally tumbles, the round is over and you build it again. Because it is compact, it travels well to a holiday cottage, a friend's house or a cafe table. It also makes a good rainy afternoon game for the kitchen table or the living room floor.
The blocks are wood, some painted in bright red and turquoise and the rest left natural, which gives the tower its striped look. Wood is easy to look after. Dust the blocks with a soft dry cloth, keep them away from water, and pack them back into their box after play so none go missing. As a gift, it is a cheerful choice for anyone who likes a quick game with friends, and it looks smart enough to leave out on a shelf between games.
