About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a vertical building competition in Blox, a game that challenges you to erect the most valuable towers and be the master of demolition! In this abstract strategy game, participants use cards to build and manipulate towers on a board, aiming to accumulate the most victory points. Luck and tactics intertwine as you decide the best moment to expand your constructions, clear the area to score, or even sabotage your rivals' plans. With four distinct phases, the game's dynamic unfolds as you manage your hand of cards, somewhat reminiscent of Arbos. Who will be the most cunning engineer, capable of maximizing their points and, incidentally, hindering opponents?
