About the game
In the center of a the tower is an off-balance ball resting delicately on a tiny platform. Players roll a die to determine how many Super Mario figurines they need to add/remove from the balancing boards on the edge of the tower. If the tower leans to far, the ball will thunder down the center of the tower and knock all the figurines off their balancing boards. The player who does this loses the game.
