About this game

27 wooden dowels of differing thickness (small, medium and large and color (yellow, red and blue) are placed within a wooden ring and then twisted so they balance on the table. Players roll a colored die which determines which dowel they must remove from the ring. Each dowel has a point value from 1-3 depending on the color/thickness. The player with the most points when the structure collapses is the winner. Ages 6 and up

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• 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 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
