Additional info: Rules listed below ...

Playing
1. Spread the blocks out on a table. Use the flat block titled "Block Head" as the base.
2. The first player places a block anywhere on the base. This is the only block which may touch the base during the course of the game. It is best to start with a block that rests flat against the base instead of one that might roll.
3. The second player now places a block on top of the first block.
4. The third player now places a block on top of the first or second block. Note: There is no penalty if the pile collapses during the first three turns. If this happens, start the game over.
5. Each following player places a block on any other block in the pile. It may be placed in any position and on any block which will hold it.
6. You may use only one hand when placing a block and you may not touch any block except your own. If only your block falls from the pile, that is not a penalty, and you may re-place again on the pile or even use another block.

Scoring
The first time you cause the pile to tumble, you are a SQUARE ... the second time, you are a CHARACTER ... and the third time, you are out of the game. Play continues until all but one player is out of the game and that player is then declared the winner.
