PLAYED FOR YOU

Make 'n' Break Circus

Constructs for the theatre

Make 'n' Break is familiar - building cards show constructs, which players must reconstruct under time pressure. The construction that is set up must exactly correspond to the image on the card, also in color and order of blocks.

Make 'n' Break Circus picks up this mechanism, but in this variant two players always engage in direct duel against each other; the winner of the round is the player who completes his construct first. Each of the two builders of a round takes one set of pieces, comprising a tiger, a panther and five wooden blocks of different size, color and width. A building card is turned over; on a command both players reconstruct this building as quickly as they can, including the location of both animals. Whoever finishes first, grabs the food can - represented by a small wooden cylinder - and calls "Bravo!". The other builder stops, too, and the finished construct is checked; if it is correct you note the points on the card. Those cards come in three levels of difficulty and accordingly you can win one to three points with a card.

For each possible number of players the number of rounds to play and partners for a round are designated, so that each player has the same number of turns and chances to win a duel. You win the competition if you have most points after all rounds have been played. The rules give suggestions to balance different ages in players.

Make 'n' Break stays the same in any version - good, challenging and with well-designed templates; in a direct duel it is even more challenging. Construction fun for all the family with handicap options when age differences are too big.
