Package Contents

Verify that all components are present in your package:

• 1 x Toppling Tower Game (set of wooden blocks)
• 1 x Canvas Carrying Case
• 1 x Dry Erase Board (for custom rules)

Setup Instructions

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all wooden blocks, the carrying case, and the dry erase board from the packaging.
2. Choose a Surface: Select a flat, stable, and level surface for gameplay. This is crucial for the tower's stability.
3. Build the Tower: Stack the wooden blocks in sets of three. Each layer of three blocks should be placed perpendicular to the layer below it. Continue stacking until all blocks form a stable tower. The tower will start at approximately 1.5 feet tall.

Operating Instructions (Game Rules)

The game is played by two or more players taking turns to remove blocks from the tower and placing them on top.

1. Player Turn: On your turn, carefully remove one block from any level below the highest completed level of the tower. You may use only one hand to remove the block.
2. Place the Block: Once a block is successfully removed, place it on top of the tower. Blocks must be placed to complete a new level of three blocks before starting another. Ensure the new layer is perpendicular to the layer below it.
3. Numbered Blocks (Bonus Rules): Some blocks have numbers printed on their bottom surface. If you remove a numbered block, refer to the included dry erase board for a corresponding special rule. Players can customize these rules to add variety to the game.
4. Losing the Game: The player who causes the tower to fall, either by removing a block or placing one, loses the game.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe blocks with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust or dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the game in the provided canvas carrying case when not in use. This protects the blocks from dust and damage and makes transport easy.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or high humidity, as these can cause the wood to warp, crack, or fade.

Troubleshooting

• Tower is unstable during play: Ensure the game is set up on a completely flat and level surface. Verify that blocks are stacked evenly and perpendicular to each other. Avoid sudden movements or vibrations near the tower.
• Blocks are difficult to remove: Ensure blocks are clean and free of any debris. The wood is hand-sanded for smooth play, but environmental factors or minor imperfections can sometimes affect movement. Try gently wiggling the block to loosen it.
• Dry erase board not erasing cleanly: Use a standard dry erase marker and eraser. For stubborn marks, a damp cloth or dry erase board cleaner can be used.
