About the game
What you do in a play session
Up You Go! turns your table into an animal circus! Pandas, monkeys, turtles, and cranes compete to build the tallest tower in a spectacle of balance and strategy. Each player secretly roots for one or more animals, playing cards to boost their favorites while sabotaging rivals. The vibe is fun tension — will the monkey hold another card or will the turtle surprise everyone? In just 20 minutes, you'll crown the height champion. Pro tip: never underestimate turtles — slow but stack masters!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
What's the minimum age?
8+, but adults turn into kids with the animal strategies!
Does it need much table space?
Just enough for the tower not to fall — and to keep your cat away!
Is it good with 2 players?
It works, but gets crazier (and funnier) with 3 or 4.
Family-friendly?
Perfect! Simple rules and turtle victories become inside jokes.
How to increase difficulty?
House rules! Try sabotaging with one hand only!
