Overview

What ABG knows about this game

In the game of Cornerstone Essential, players build and climb their towers, working together in teams or in a head to head race to reach the top. Each turn players build by strategically placing blocks, gaining a better vantage point for the Climber or blocking an opponent. Players will test their dexterity and mental ability as they try to outmaneuver their opponents and beat them to the top. With every move the game gets more exciting as the towers grow taller and the structure more unstable. Can you reach the top before it falls? Re-implements: Cornerstone
