Beasts of Balance

My 8 year-old daughter requested this game to play together. She has been enjoying it so much! We did enjoy playing it together, both in cooperative and battle modes, with both 2 and 3 players, but it is very difficult to not have someone else knock over the tower or judge your placement. It is more fun to play alone! Unfortunately, the challenges mode won't load for us, on either her tablet or my phone, which is disappointing. Hope they get that fixed, otherwise highly recommend!

This is such a wonderful game! Many others have already explained it, so I will just let you know that my teenage son, my wife and I all had a blast with it on Christmas Day. It was a gift to me, and I have been playing it many times a day all week. There are many different ways to play - going for making new beasts, beating your own high score, experimenting with the miracle pieces, etc. I love that there aren’t a lot of rules to learn. Just about anyone past the age of maybe 4 could pick it up and start playing. Each game only lasts up to perhaps 10 minutes, depending on how long you take to stack the pieces - or to have them topple over. The colors are bright and fun. It’s a very tactile game, despite part of it being on an iPad. I really can’t say enough good things about Beasts of Balance. If you think you might enjoy it and are on the fence - go ahead and get it. You won’t be sorry. It is a bit pricey, but unlike some other expensive games we’ve invested in, this one actually gets played over and over. I’m looking forward to getting some of the expansion pieces after I’ve mastered the beginning ones.

Such a great game! Was looking for a gift for my 8 year old niece, came across this and ended up buying it for myself! I let her play it of course! It is so much fun! Trying to get the highest score is one thing, but creating/finding new species seems to be the most rewarding! Highly recommended and offers hours of gameplay! Great solo, or with a group. It’s fun, but also gets you thinking and using strategies. Which creature do I sacrifice to keep the world going. Can’t wait for the expansions and more pieces/artifacts to be added to the game!
