Splash!

Players take turns adding irregular pieces to an unstable central stack, trying not to cause it to collapse. After placing a piece, the active player selects a piece from their own supply and hands it to the next player; that donated piece must match the previous piece by color or shape but is placed by the recipient. The game emphasizes speed and delicate manual placement as the stack grows more precarious. When the stack falls, the player who handed over the piece that triggered the collapse receives a gold gem. Play continues until a player collects three gold gems or a supply is exhausted.
