In this fast-paced duel, players take turns stacking animal meeples based on dice rolls. One die determines which animal to start with, the other decides which goes on top. Rolling a question mark allows player choice. The goal is to complete your tower first to earn coins, with three coins winning the game.

The game targets families and children aged 5 and up who prefer simple rules and quick plays. With a typical duration of about 10 minutes, it suits short gaming sessions. It's great for those who enjoy dexterity challenges combined with dice mechanics and require no prior experience.
How It Works
Using Dice Rolling and Die Icon Resolution, players determine which animal meeple to stack next. The main challenge is Stacking and Balancing the animal figures carefully. Completing your tower before your opponent earns you a coin, and the first to three coins wins.
