Kippelino – Build the Wobbly Tree House 🌳🪵

Everyone builds a tree house together – higher and higher, level by level, card by card. Kippelino by Reinhard Staupe, published by NSV, is a balancing and dexterity game for 1–4 players aged 5 and up, in about 10–15 minutes.

The plans of the architect ravens must be followed, so things get wobbly pretty quickly. The builder takes the top building board from the pile and carefully lays it on the two wooden discs below. Then the builder places two new wooden discs on the board – on the colours shown by the raven on the next card of the pile. The discs don't have to sit exactly in the middle of a colour; they just have to touch it. Then the next player becomes the builder. The higher the tree house grows, the greater the danger it will collapse, so think ahead: where will the next discs have to go? All players form a team and try to use all 12 building boards and all 24 wooden discs. Keep a cool head and a steady hand – a great building game for children and adults. There is also a variant for playing against each other.
