Toppletree merges the game play of Jenga and Connect Four, while allowing
players to create a day-glo sculpture while they play.
To set up, each player takes 18 pieces in a single color – a dozen single
pieces and six “double” pieces that fork – and the green base is placed
on the table. On a turn, a player adds one of their pieces to the tree by
placing it on the nub protruding from the base or the nub on any other piece
already attached to the base. A player can use only one hand and cannot support
the tree while placing a piece. A player cannot place a double piece on a
double piece of their own color, but they may cap an
opponent's double piece.
If the tree falls over, the player who added the most recent piece loses.
Otherwise, the game ends when a player places four pieces of their color in a
row, with this player winning the game.
Players: 2 – 4
