Get out your forklift! In this diversified building game, the call goes out: Who will use tactics and good luck with the cards to erect the most valuable towers? Who will clear them out and collect the most points? And who will throw the other players from the playing field at the right moment? Blox is a tower-building game in four phases, utilizing cards seemingly similar to Arbos. The player with the most victory points wins. —description from the publisher
