About Misfits: The Tactical Stacking Game, from BoardGameGeek:

‘Misfits is simple, immediate, a blend of dexterity, art, and creative play, transforming stacking into an aesthetically pleasing experience, with a touch of magic' - Tom Brewster, on Shut Up and Sit Down's podcast and Gift Guide ‘Misfits is deceptively simple, yet wildly addictive' - Leslie Scott, inventor of Jenga ‘Jenga for lunatics' - Simon Lewis, The Telegraph, best tabletop game for a man ‘Misfits is the next family game, this gaming season.' - Alison Moss, BBC Radio Jersey ‘This is the dream board game experience' - Yogscast Live, on a livestream with Chance and Counters board game cafe How to Play The first person to stack all blocks from their hand into the shared tower wins the game. Each player chooses ten blocks from the box at random. Take turns around a table, stacking one block per turn. Blocks may be placed in any direction or orientation, but once played in the tower, the blocks cannot be moved or repositioned. Should any blocks fall during your turn, collect each of the fallen pieces and add them to your hand. If the entire tower falls on your turn, you have to collect all the pieces, including any left standing. No one is eliminated from the game. 40 unique shapes. No two stacks are the same. It's nail-biting. Surprising. Delightful.
