PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This award-winning “teetering, wobbling, shifting, tipping, unbalanced, balance game” is a must-have for family game night, Take turns hanging the notched, rubber-tipped wire pieces from the tabletop stand.

Family Fun!

We sure had a good time playing this. Some family members thought it was dumb but still had some good laughs. (They don’t like games to begin with so their opinion is not reflected in the rating) We played using the variations in the rules and then made up some of our own too! Great for ages 8 and up

Easy and fun game

This is an easy and fun game for the whole family (unless you have very young children). We've played it with grandma and kids. All have had fun and lots of laughs. I've even bought one as a gift.

Kids and adults love this!

My grandkids and I had so much fun playing this game they took it home to play with their mom and dad. I had to order another one for my house!

So much fun, read all rules first ????

Allot like jenga but different. Read the directions for scoring and such cause otherwise you use all tge pieces and think the game is over and it’s a tie but… that’s not really how it works, cause games not over. Once we started using the rules it was allot more fun!

Let’s Talk About STEM

Absolute must have for the classroom. Personally I teach PE and used this as part of a lesson on balancing life “stuff”. From there it has been the game they just can’t stop playing! Used at the High School level. Evokes cheers, competition, think pair share, and has served as an excellent relationship builder in the classroom. Love it! Buy it! They will come!

Purchased this on a lightning deal after reading such wonderful reviews on the site

Purchased this on a lightning deal after reading such wonderful reviews on the site. I am glad I did it because its a truly fun game. 1. I totally agree with one of the reviewers that it teaches one to be patient & focus on the task in-front of you especially kid who are hyper activity 2. Initially we started with basic rule & then graduated to the advance rule once all of us got the hang of what the game is all about 3. The built quality of the product is superb. Its exactly as shown in the picture 4. The size of the game as you build it is pretty big, its no way small as some of the reviewers have mentioned it Definitely worth picking up and I waited for it so long to come in the right price to buy it.

Perfect game for friends, family & yourself

We were introduced to this game by my then 8 year old niece in London. We ended up playing it a lot in the holidays. I bought my own set for this years holidays and we had lots of fun - a group of people ranging from 15 - 53 with an 83 year old avidly watching and contributing with her suggestions on what to do. You can play it by the rules or you can make your own rules. It really gets fun when you are trying to set up someone else for a big crashdown. It also teaches you something about the value of a steady hand, physics and how sometimes structures will stay suspended even if you thought that the whole thing will come flying down. Its a very adaptable game - for big groups or small or you can play it solo and make your own creation. Works with friends, family

Unique toy, exorbitantly costly though.

It's a unique toy. No doubt in that. Another advantage is that it can be played by primary School students as well as by college goers. However, high cost is a glitch. Particularly when all it consists of is corrugated thin and short rods/sticks.
