Description
A game of balance and construction, each player gets a construction character and then rolls the die to determine which type of piece they need to build. The letter I adds an I-Beam, the letter C adds a crossbeam and an I-Beam. A stop sign blocks opponents. A skip causes the player to lose the turn. The goal is to build as high as possible, causing as little imbalance as possible. The player who causes the construction site to collapse loses. Includes 30 I-Beams, 6 crossbeams, 2 workers, base, T-Stand, and one die. For 2 players. ~ Brianna
Publisher's Description of Upstruction Game
Do you have what it takes to work the high steel and win? Taking turns, players roll the die to decide which action to take. Roll an I-Beam to add to your structure and reach for the sky. Roll a Stop Work Sign to block your opponent. Roll a Crossbar to turn your opponent's work into your work. As you build, your worker figurine climbs higher and higher. But beware... One beam placed out of balance and the whole thing could come toppling down. Only the cleverest and luckiest will reach the highest and win! Up the ante, up the fun, and up the strategic challenge with the build-and-balance game of Up-Struction.
