This is a hard game to write about, because it's actually a game system. There's a huge pfd of different games to try with this simple stack of balls. It's really very interesting, as there are game where you remove or move pieces with the goal of being on top, or eliminating other player's pieces, or trying to make a row of your own, ect. The 3d element of the stack comes into things as balls can usually be removed from the side, allowing the ball above it to click into it's place. None of the games have been completely engrossing, but most of them have been interesting puzzles. ★ Art, Iconography and components functional ★ Clever or interesting mechanisms ★ Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players ★ Multiple plays stay interesting ★ Low or mitigatable luck elements ★☆☆☆☆ Raw enjoyment
