Bought this game (it's called "Bausack" in europe) one day before you uploaded this video. Totally feeling confirmed with my purchase after watching your review. Thanks a lot for your great work ladies
Your assessment of this game as being good for playing with children and also good for groups of inebriated adults seems spot on. You folks choose the most interesting games to spotlight. This is another great video.
Our game nights tend to be in the bar ... and even though it's a quiet one I could see us spending most of the evening hunting for bits on the floor after the table is knocked for the umpteenth time! :)
A better variant from a user on BoardGameGeek: * Everyone starts with 5-10 gems and a base piece. * Place one or many pieces from the box into the middle of the table * On your turn you either (A) pass and put a counter next to an unclaimed piece, or (B) take a piece from the middle with all its counters. * If you have no counters you must take the piece and its counters, place it in your tower, and draw a replacement piece for the middle
I really enjoy the Starlit Citadels videos. I have a question regarding one of the games on the shelf behind the hosts that I often see in videos including this one. It looks to be a silver thermos type thing, in the lower right. What is that?
Love Bandu, but the primary issue I have with this one with children...especially younger kids is the table bumping phenomenon. Really appreciate the tip to try this on the kitchen island. Will have to give that a try.
+george lacey Animal upon Animal, Rhino Hero are great kids games and then you have games like Pharoah's Gulo Gulo and Hive which would work well for adults & kids too.
Very good review. First game I thought of was Animal Upon Animal and how wee ones can graduate to this. I also like the idea of playing on a "nailed" down surface which is so much better than nailing down a kiddo to the floor (joking). Of course adults who have a bit to drink could very well find themselves nailing someone else to the floor (not necessarily joking). Either way looks like fun. Thanks. EDIT: Found a copy of the 1991 version at a thrift store today complete and in great shape.
Great video! Really enjoyed learning about this one :)

Great, thank you! I've seen this box but never knew what set it apart. Looks like great fun!
cutaways to you guys playing the game are a massive success
this looks like a neat game. I love the concept. I never thought playing with blocks could be that fun. I'll have to put this on my buy list.
I love your tips, honest reviews and all keep up, well done! :)

Cute as hell.. haha.. great for the adults as well as the younglings. Awesome review gals, as usual. Did you guys make it to GenCon? I was curious.
Steve Pruneau Nope. GenCon's rather expensive being that we are in Canada
I totally agree.. The dollar has been it's lowest since 2004. Yikes! Hopefully there's a decent Con up here in Canada close to me (I'm in Montreal) :)
Not sure, the big gaming con over in the West just announced they are not doing 2016 which is sad :(
great review. definitely a game i will get.
Are there any other simple games that work with children and adults like bandu or jenga?

+StarlitCitadel Thanx, I also found the following on my own search: Tummple and Bamboleo
Still waiting for Kaja to pull out her sword when she loses.........
