The Gloriser 48 PCS Tetra Tower Game is a charming, colorful stacking game that promises fun for ages 3 and up. Here's my breakdown of its pros and cons after some family game nights:Pros:Simple to learn, engaging to play: The basic rules are easy to grasp for even young children, making it a great family game. Players take turns placing Tetris-like blocks on a seesaw platform, trying to build the tallest tower without it toppling over. Different colored blocks and challenge cards add variety and keep things interesting.Develops critical skills: This game is more than just fun. It helps kids develop hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, strategic thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Watching my children navigate the balance and tension of the tower was rewarding in itself.Compact and portable: The game comes in a sturdy box that stores all the pieces, making it ideal for travel or taking to game nights. The pieces themselves are well-made and durable, able to withstand the inevitable drops and throws that come with excited play.Multiple ways to play: The challenge cards add fun twists to the basic gameplay, including timed rounds, building specific shapes, and even playing as teams. This keeps the game fresh and exciting for players of all ages.Cons:Frustration factor can be high: While part of the fun is in the tension of building the tower, it can be quite frustrating when it topples over, especially for younger players. Be prepared for some groans and tears if things don't go their way.Limited replayability with basic rules: Once players master the basic gameplay, the challenge cards become essential for keeping things interesting. Without them, the game can become repetitive after a while.Two-player maximum: While the game can be enjoyed by individuals, it's truly at its best with two players. The seesaw platform and competitive element are lost with larger groups.Overall:The Gloriser 48 PCS Tetra Tower Game is a fun and engaging choice for families with young children. It's a great way to spend quality time together while developing important skills. However, be aware of the potential for frustration and limited replayability without the challenge cards. Overall, I recommend it for family game nights and casual play, but don't expect it to replace your favorite strategic board games.Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsI hope this review helps you decide if the Gloriser Tetra Tower Game is right for you and your family!

The game was fun and seemed like the pieces would be very durable. The children playing the game thought it was challenging. The game kept them entertained for a longtime. i would definitely recommend this game.

The set is okay and works fine, but for the same price I recommend getting a different one of the multitude of these available that comes in a nice clear plastic storage box. This one just comes in a cardboard box and is annoying to get everything back in. That said the game works well it is a fun alternative to jenga.

I wasn't sure if this game was going to be fun but boy was I wrong! The game is pretty easy setup. Its old school tetris with a bit of balance flare! The game was so much fun with more than two players. This game really gets your frontal lobe working! Critical thinking is a must with this game and its super fun. Will recommend for just about any age

This is a decent derivative of Tetra Tower. The concept is reproduced faithfully enough to provide hours of fun. Sessions will likely be short, but the with quick set up and resolution, this one should have high replayability. If you've enjoyed Jenga® and other dexterity games, Tetra Tower (and derivatives such as this) will be a refreshing new option.The set includes a small plastic base, the platform (or "stage"), an assortment of 48 tetra shapes (blocks), and a deck of cards - more about the cards later. Instructions are pretty open ended, so house rules came into play pretty quickly.Tower Mode / Game: Players take turns drawing cards and completing the indicated action. Whoever causes the stage and/or tower to tilt loses. If you play with two players that's pretty straightforward. Several of the product pictures show more than two people playing, and that's how our crew went at it. Whoever cases a collapse lost and we played successive rounds until we had a winner.We also played some freestyle rounds; going round-robin and choosing whatever pieces we wanted. Sometimes working collaboratively to build as high as possible, other times trying to survive and/or set others up for failure. Even working together, we never got close to running out of pieces. We did have a hyperactive 5 year old in the mix - if you roll exclusively with grown up board gamers, consider one of the alternatives with 64 pieces.Main gripe is that size of the "cards." The cards are small, like really small. Aside from making shuffling / handling needlessly challenging, I could see the print size being an issue for young and old players. The pictures on the cards a fairly intuitive, which is good because something was lost in translation for the actual wording: "A Favorite Block Sitting on the Stage"…..what?SAFETY: Both the cards and the pieces are a bit small for a 3 year old (box says 3+).STORAGE: Everything goes back in the box, so be mindful of that during the initial unboxing. Pretty standard for board games. This box is pretty compact, occasionally getting everything back inside take a 2nd attempt.

This was the game we played while eating dinner! I didn’t expect this to be so fun, but trying to add on pieces of various shapes within limited space is everything! I did think the deck would have more cards, but honestly you would never last longer than an hour playing. I think our longest game may have made it to 15 minutes by luck! Fun game for adults and kids! Great game for traveling too!
