Animal Upon Animal
A wobbly tower of wooden animals, built by very small hands.
What it is
Players take turns stacking 29 wooden animals into a growing pile, and the first to place all of theirs wins. Klaus Miltenberger's game has been a HABA favorite since 2005. Perfect for children from four up, and for any adult who secretly wants to balance a sheep on a penguin.
What we love
- Chunky beech wood animals that small hands can really grip
- No reading, and the idea is clear at a glance
- Grown-ups are no better at it, which kids enjoy
Honest trade-offs
- Not for children under three, because of the small parts
- A collapse at the wrong moment can bring tears at this age
