About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for the most festive and wobbly version of 'Animal Upon Animal'! In this special Christmas edition, the furry and feathered crew has decided to climb all over each other to build a postcard-worthy Christmas pyramid. We've got bouncy squirrels, cute snow bunnies, clumsy penguins, and mighty reindeer ready for the challenge. The stage? A crazy mix of shiny stars, Christmas trees, sleds, and, of course, the backs of other animals! The goal is simple: be the first to unload all your critters onto this precarious tower without causing a disaster. Each turn requires a masterful touch and a dose of luck from the dice roll, which dictates who can place what and where. It's a game of pure dexterity, where a steady hand is your best friend and laughter is guaranteed with every piece that threatens to tumble. Perfect for gathering family and friends on chilly nights, adding a dash of balancing and lighthearted fun. Don't be fooled by its simplicity; the challenge of keeping the structure upright is real and surprisingly addictive. Who will be the stacking genius to crown the Christmas pyramid?
