HABA 3678 Animal Upon Animal - Classic Wooden Stacking Game Fun for The Whole Family- English version (Made in Germany)

Product Information

On your turn, you roll a die to determine which action you must take: will it be adding one or more animals to the pyramid in the middle, or will you get lucky and be able to offload one of your pieces onto someone else or place it on the table to extend the base? Each turn a player rolls the die and either places one or two animals on to the stack of animals, passes one of his or her animals to another player for them to place, or places an animal on the table, extending the base for other players to build upon. Each player is given 7 different animal tokens and they roll a die and either stack or pass an animal to another player. There’s about all there is to this game in terms of rules, but its simplicity and sheer charm is bound to keep you coming back to it, however old you are! The Family Gamers received a copy of My Very First Games: Animal Upon Animal Junior from HABA USA for this review.

that’s fine and all, but that’s not going to stop them from just sliding horizontally and falling off the mountain. Most people suspect the snake is the foulest to play, but it’s mostly flat, just bendy in unexpected places (it can nicely sit on top of another snake, for instance).

Animal Upon Animal is a kid's dexterity game that includes elements of a stacking game that also tests a player’s placement skills.

But the roll of the die may make it such that mom or dad has to place something a bit more precarious that will make the pile come crashing down. We have a house rule which my kids think is a blast because we actually do an animal draft with a 3-player game and we always use this rule with this player count.It’s possible that that’s going to be a point of frustration, but, you know, it’s just worth knowing.
