The fun mint-tin sized dexterity game that gamers and non-gamers will love! Tinderblox sets players in a campfire setting, where each player will attempt to grow the fire. But watch out! Place the blocks badly and you risk burning down the camp! Each turn, players draw a card from the campfire deck which instructs them to place a log, an ember, or any combination of them in various orientations on top of the campfire. Players use tweezers to "play with fire" and if you drop anything, you're considered a fire hazard and you're removed from the game. The player who is the most careful with fire wins! Differences between Tinderblox Day, Night and Sunset: Tinderblox Day is the original game. Tinderblox Night is a limited edition version which includes more challenging cards. Tinderblox Sunset includes the Marshmallow mini-expansion (otherwise sold separately) and is made from FSC-compliant materials.
Tinderblox has 34 videos from 30 creators: 13 reviews, 7 how-to-play guides, 5 playthroughs, 6 unboxings and 3 other videos. They date from 2020 to March 2026.
