There are lots of ways to play BUILDZI. You can play it as a speed game where towers are built vertically on the table/surface. This makes for fast-stacking, nerve-racking gameplay.
You get 32 BUILDZI blocks including four sets of eight different blocks, 32 Tower Cards and 32 Block Cards. So how does it work?
Tower Card BUILDZI
Put the BUILDZI blocks in a pile in the centre and deal everyone one tower card (yellow/black side facing up). Someone says ‘Go’ and everyone immediately flips over their tower card at the same time (so that the multi-coloured side is revealed). Everyone quickly starts grabbing blocks from the centre pile. The first player to build their tower and shout BUILDZI wins.
For more challenging games try building the towers on the yellow/black side of the tower cards. These towers are a bit trickier to build because there are no colours to help identify the blocks.
Block Card BUILDZI
Put the BUILDZI blocks in a pile in the centre. Each player gets one complete set of eight block cards. (There are four different sets of block cards: green, orange, blue and pink). Players shuffle their set of block cards and place them face down in front of them. Someone says ‘Go’ and everyone immediately starts flipping over their cards one at a time. After each card is flipped players quickly grab that block from the centre pile and add it to their tower. The first player to build their tower and shout BUILDZI wins.
BUILDZI was recently awarded Specialty Product of the Year 2021 by the Australian Toy Association.
