Description

Introduction

Undaunted by barriers of language, great builders work to raise a pillar to the heavens. Block by block, it rises, and the people find higher and higher vantage points from which to survey the world. Can you raise a new monument to tower over the works of the past?

Overview

A Second Babel is a game of building a tower together. Players place blocks and pawns, pushing their stacking and steadiness skills. When all the blocks and pawns are in play, players total up the height of all pawns to determine their score. Every play confronts the question; can we build it higher?

I'm a sucker for coops. And this is the first building dexterity coop I've ever seen! The rules are simple and elegant, so it's easy to teach and interesting to play. It's kind of like Jenga in revers...
